Nice thing about UUCP, if configured correctly it could go over either

to certain times of day, day of the week, depending on the host and could
even drop kick to a backup dialup (IIRC).
(The rest deleted as it's reading too much into a system that was designed
that way).

Sounds good... Mine's up... wanna start
swapping systems entries.
We can use Cnews over UUCP over TCP/IP and use the local ISP's for
connectivity.
Doesn't UUCP over TCP/IP defeat the purpose of having UUCP as an
independent network? An Internet outage and the UUCP system is
broken. On the other hand, a UUCP network of systems connected via
the telephone network could survive an Internet breakdown.
