[net.dcom] Looking for uucp substitute

andy (01/10/83)

Hi,

	Can somebody supply me with references for protocols that allows
one to transfer files asyncronously over phone lines? I am looking for a
protocol which could substitute for the current uucp protocol. The 
protocols should be able to transfer binary files across systems.
Will mmdf do the job? Can somebody give me more information specifically
about mmdf? Are the sources available in C to people not on the CSnet?

	Is there some data communicatins journal that I should know about?

					Thanks,

Note that MMDF is particurally unsuitable for the
transmission of binary files (That isnt what is was
designed for!)
