I'm sure that it will work through a serial port, as well as through a modem. The only things it doesn't do is (a) send a file in response to a request from the 'calling' node. (b) route mail past itself. All mail not for the localhost goes to the "mail server" node. (c) verify usernames against a /etc/passwd file. It seems as though this might fill some of your needs, though not all of them. The author(s) of uupc can be reached at sl@van-bc.uucp skl@van-bc.uucp (boht skl and sl) I can answer any informal questions, as can a couple of my friends who actually USE it within their own internal networks. E-Mail me for additional information.
