| | RXN Communications FAQ - UUCP |
 | | Although 20 years have passed since the first version of UUCP appeared, it is still very much in use, doing the same basic things." --from Ed Ravin et al, " Using & Managing UUCP ", O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., 1996. |
 | | UUCP allows systems that do not have a permanent connection to the Internet (such as dialup computer bulletin boards and small company offices) to send and receive internet email and usenet news, for multiple users, in a store and forward manner, over existing dialup phone lines. |
 | | This makes UUCP a useful option for sites without a dedicated telephone line (small offices) or sites with additional needs for their telephone line (electronic bulletin board systems). |
