Snip from the uucp-1.06.1/README by Ian Lance Taylor
--------
This is the standard UUCP package of the Free Software Foundation.
The package currently supports the 'f', 'g' (in all window and packet
sizes), 'G', 't' and 'e' protocols, as well a Zmodem protocol, the FX
UUCICO 'y' protocol, and two new bidirectional protocols. If you have
a Berkeley sockets library, it can make TCP connections. If you have
TLI libraries, it can make TLI connections. It supports a new
configuration file mechanism which I like (but other people dislike).
The package has a few advantages over regular UUCP:
You get the source code.
It uses significantly less CPU time than many UUCP packages.
You can specify a chat script to run when a system calls in,
allowing adjustment of modem parameters on a per system basis.
You can specify failure strings for chat scripts, allowing the
chat script to fail immediately if the modem returns ``BUSY''.
If you are talking to another instance of the package, you can use
the new bidirectional protocol for rapid data transfer in both
directions at once. You can also restrict file transfers by size
based on the time of day and who placed the call.
On the other hand:
It only runs on Unix. The code is carefully divided into system
dependent and system independent portions, so it should be
possible to port it to other systems. It would not be trivial.
You don't get uuclean, uusend, uuq, uusnap, uumonitor, uutry,
uupoll, etc. If yo
