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,

Joris

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
