I am looking for a UUCP program which will run under TCP-IP on internet, instead of via phone line.

RCP exists for exactly this purpose. > RCP is for LAN use, and doesn't provide queueing capabilities. What if your APPLICATION SOFTWARE wanted to send a file to a remote, but the transmission link is down? RCP would immediately fail. With UUCP it would sit in the queue until the link is brought back up, and the cico daemon kick started. We use UUCP over TCP/IP over Ethernet. Our vendor supplied us with a outbound virtual tty device. Say the device is /dev/ttyT8... typing $ cu -s9600 -l/dev/ttyT8 dir would connect you to the device, then enter a host name in /etc/hosts... the virtual tty device then creates a rlogin session with the host you entered (which is not echoed), and you magically get a login: prompt. With this approach it is trivial to get uucico to place an outbound call. -- Dave Arnold (dave@arnold.UUCP) Work: Volt Delta Resources Phone: (714) 921-7635 Home: 26561 Fresno street, Mission Viejo, Ca 92691
