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
