Haven't carrier pigeons been extinct long before IP and UUCP were

Nope. The RFC exists (RFC 1149) and there has been a practical

For a moment I wondered if the Web site was set up using the same protocol
(as a proof of concept?) but luckily it's just a normal Web site. :)

Unless I'm mistaken Dave is talking about a transmittion method that's
