[can.uucp] uucp help needed

Hello all you 'netters' out there.  I have a rather odd request, and
am hoping that someone out there can supply me with the answer.  What
I need to know, is what uucp actually _DOES_ to `trade' information
(mail, news, etc.) with another system.  As in, what transfer protocol
it uses, what character(s) it sends to signify `begin sending message',
and 'begin recieving message', and 'I'm all done.  You finish off now'.
And a basic `tutor' on what makes uucp tick.  Please reply via 
Private mail.  All help will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance...
