Term:
UNIX-to-UNIX CoPy (UUCP)
Definition: This was initially a program run under the UNIX operating system that allowed one UNIX system to send files to another UNIX system via dial-up phone lines. Today, the term is often, if somewhat inaccurately, used to describe the large international network which uses the UUCP protocols to pass news and electronic mail.
