Default Huh? Diesel engines don't last 800 hours before major repairs??

guys, "IP" ------------- means --------------Internet Protocol and has not a
thing with how the beast was connected.


customers. Most of them connected via IP, but UUCP provided a very nice
"spooling" system for them and got the job done.


Interesting. "Most of them connected via IP" implies that some did not.
Who'da thunkit?

It is still viable for those who do not have "full time" Internet
connections (e.g. dialup over modems or ISDN)


Makes me wonder if there are any newsfeeds still being transferred via raw
UUCP (i.e. not over IP). Someone's probably doing it just for
nostalgia :-)
