UUCP is used to transfer mail, news and random files between systems which are not connected by more modern networks. The communication can be made via modems, direct (hard-wired) serial connections or via an IP connection. Package: cu Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: call up another system The cu command is used to call up another system and act as a dial-in terminal (mostly on a serial line). It can also do simple file transfers with no error checking. . cu is part of the UUCP source but has been split into its own package because it can be useful even if you do not do uucp.
