RE: https://oldbytes.space/@amoroso/116906466168517237
#Altos mentioned here, another important company from the era of "The Net Before the Web" largely forgotten now – were it not for #hacker lore! Altos housed the legendary #AltosChat in one of their overseas offices, where many infamous #hackers of the late 80s and early 90s regularly met. The #sysop not only tolerated them but became friends with them. It survived the #Acer merger and, looking at #UUCP maps from the 90s, beyond that (with rather dubious hosting arrangements it seems ;-))

Протокол UUCP
Дело было в девяностых годах прошлого века. Время беспокойное. Страна развалилась, люди обеднели, многие пытались уехать за границу. Особенно успешно отъезды получались у девушек, которые находили заграничных женихов. На этой ниве процветали брачные агентства, которые помогали с перепиской и оформлением документов. Но некоторые девушки пытались решить такие проблемы самостоятельно. И вот, ко мне обратилась за помощью одна знакомая. Хочу, говорит, вести переписку без агентства. Нужен компьютер и интернет. - Хорошо, отвечаю - а какие требования к компьютеру? - Чтобы письма писать можно было… - А в игрушки играть, фильмы смотреть? - Не надо… Только письма… - Может, еще какие требования? - Чтобы недорогой был… Совсем недорогой… Техническое задание понял, начал действовать. И нашел! Совсем недорогой ( точнее – бесплатный) компьютер, Amstrad PC1512, 1986 года выпуска. Компьютер стоял без дела в бухгалтерии строительной компании. Компания уже перешла на Windows и такой антиквариат им был не нужен. Я помог бухгалтерии списать компьютер и отнес его к своей знакомой. Включаю… Грузится DOS… Нахожу и запускаю Лексикон ( текстовый процессор ). Ну, теперь можно написать письмо! Написать письмо можно, а как отправить? Модема нету… Придется искать. Пока можно проверить, ответит ли dial-up сервер. Нахожу в записной книжке телефон сервера. Снимаю трубку телефона, кручу дисковый номеронабиратель. Сервер отвечает, свистит. Тоже посвистываю – слышит, меняет тональность, хочет поговорить. Но я по-ихнему не умею, кладу трубку. протокол UUCP

@atarifrosch @alios Zu #UUCP-Zeiten habe ich mir die ersten Webseiten per E-Mail zuschicken lassen. Von einem Gateway in Jena, der schon dieses TCP/IP konnte. Hat pro Webseite roundtrip ca. 3 Tage gedauert.

Just stumbled on this tonight looking around for information on UUCP. So, my loony idea at the moment, is to see if I can funnel UUCP over AX.25 packet radio, with the idea that I can send email over that.
My principle gripe right now is that most UUCP implementations (I've dealt with SCO UUCP and Taylor UUCP) require you to list up-front, all the nodes you might want to talk to… but aside from that limitation, the technology choice seems sound on paper.
Here, a group has managed to make UUCP talk over ARDOP.
https://www.rhizomatica.org/hermes/ARDOP has its own problems, but that project looks interesting in what they've achieved. They're using conventional Icom HF radios to provide both text, recorded voice and photo transmission between communities in the Amazon (the rainforest not the megacorp).

Do you wonder how email and Usenet worked on the internet before always-on lines between the servers?
There was a Unix program called UUCP, which was used to syncronise data between the servers at night using telephone lines.
You wrote a Usenet message during the day and "posted" it. That message got synced to the federated Usenet network during the night, and the recipient of that Usenet message got it tomorrow morning.

Some ancient history
I first began using internet email in 1986 or 1987. I was listed in UUCP maps as a system administrator by June 1987 and by January 1988 the UUCP maps were distributed by USENET.
Here is a USENET post for all of the UUCP connected machines in Oklahoma: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mail.maps/search?q=u.usa.ok%20john%20moyer%20after%3A1987-01-01%20before%3A1991-12-01

User barbox!user would generally publish their UUCP email address in a form such as …!bigsite!foovax!barbox!user.

I don't have any mail archives from that period (for obvious reasons), but maybe somebody can remember.What I'm specifically trying to pinpoint is when we started registering CH domains for UUCP sites, it doesn't seem this was announced anywhere that has survived the not quite 4 decades and maybe we just sent a mail at the time. So the UUCP maps might be the only way to at least roughly date it.

@kelbot I'll also call out #UUCP. It was one of the last 2 large-scale asynchronous communication methods we had (the last being email, which still survives in that form). Could talk over anything. #NNCP is a worthy successor and, while it doesn't do modems, it does do #encryption and USB drives.

Le sachiez-tu : sur le site Web d'Oracle, une des plus riches boites d'informatique du monde, il y a la documentation pour #UUCP : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24843_01/html/E22298/uucpov-1.html
« UUCP permet aux ordinateurs de transférer des fichiers et d'échanger des messages électroniques entre eux. » Ça a l'air drôlement bien, ce truc, faudra que j'essaie.
