If you're just going to try out UUCP, get the number of an archive site near you. Write down the login and password - they're public to make anonymous downloads possible. In most cases, they're something like uucp/uucp or nuucp/uucp.

The UUCP Mapping Project registers all UUCP hostnames worldwide and makes sure they are unique.

The bit rate of the tty must be at least as high as the maximum transfer speed.

bsmtp is used to deliver mail with batched SMTP.

You may use a tilde (~) character to refer to the UUCP public directory, but only in UUCP configuration files; outside it usually translates to the user's home directory.

Gert Doering's mgetty is such a beast. It runs on a variety of platforms, including SCO Unix, AIX, SunOS, HP-UX, and Linux.
103
This option is not present in Version 1.04.

That is, files with names beginning with a dot. Such files aren't normally displayed by the ls command.
