RE: [OT]: UUCP
UUCP stands for Unix-to-Unix-CoPy
I've used it nearly 8 yrs ago in a specific situation, even then it was
considered out-dated. I figure it's mostly replaced by TCP/IP on all
devices. From what i remember (did not use it since then) it's easy (what's
in a word) to set up but only support serial/modem lines, hence is rather
slow.
NFS is also one of the protocols wich started replacing UUCP back then in
19993/1994.
I must add this has been a real long time and i'm not up-to-speed with
eventual current UUCP features/implementations but i suggest you take a look
at it from an historical point of view :-)
Greets,

Subject: [OT]: UUCP
I understand that UUCP is a form of a network system or protocol. Is it
still in use or it is totally replaced by TCP/IP?
Is there any good documenation about networking in general which is
uptodate??
TIA
Stephan
