Classic Comp UUCP network.

Another reason to choose UUCP over somthing more modern is
that is would serve as a "rite of passage".

In Fidonet, one could not become a node until one demonstrated
the technical ability to send a message to the local HUB
via a special fidonet node address. By return mail the HUB
would grant your your permanent fidonet number. The HUBs would
share amongst themselves the net numbers and node numbers thus
makeing all nodes accessable from all other nodes.

Any If we use TCP/IP or the Internet we will be exposed not
only to the spam and stupidity, but to the actual cracker
population that may want to do harm.

Perhaps UUCP, by nature of being hard to setup and maintain
will keep out some/all of the rif-raff.

I don't know how UUCP works, is there a good primer out
on the net somewhere?
