UUCP (UNIX-to-UNIX Copy) is an older mechanism used to transfer information
|
|
between UNIX systems. Using UUCP, UNIX systems dial each other up (using
|
|
a modem) and transfer mail messages, news articles, files, and so on.
|
|
If you don't have TCP/IP or SLIP access, you can use UUCP to communicate
|
|
with the world. Most of the mail and news software (see Sections <A HREF="node223.html#secmail">5.5</A>
|
|
and <A HREF="node224.html#secnews">5.6</A>) can be configured to use UUCP to transfer information to
|
|
other machines. In fact, if there is an Internet site nearby, you can arrange
|
|
to have Internet mail sent to your Linux machine via UUCP from that site.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The <em>Linux Network Administrator's Guide</em> contains complete information
|
|
on configuring and using UUCP under Linux. Also, the Linux
|
|
UUCP HOWTO, available via anonymous FTP from
|
|
<tt>sunsite.unc.edu</tt>, should be of help. Another source of information
|
|
on UUCP is the book <em>Managing UUCP and USENET</em>, by Tim O'Reilly and
|
|
Grace Todino. See Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appinfo">A</A> for more information.
