uucp means unix-to-unix-copy.
It's a news and email gateway...not sure whatelse it handles.
For example, many free access BBS's have this where you have an email address
and can send email, but must wait until like in the middle of the night when
the BBS calls up it's SLIP service and transfers everything (up & down).
That is, there are no real-time connections or services.
