NAME
       uucp - overview of UUCP

DESCRIPTION
       UUCP stands for Unix-to-Unix CoPy.  It is a collection of programs
       that let UNIX systems communicate with each other.

       The DG/UX system uses the HoneyDanBer version of UUCP.  On the DG/UX
       system, UUCP can run on a LAN, a synchronous modem, or an
       asynchronous modem.  The LAN can be Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI.
       Running on a synchronous modem requires X.25 and TCP/IP or the XXX
       (X.3, X.28, and X.29) protocols.  The following figure shows DG/UX
       UUCP layering:
