UUCP Support (x29uucpd)
Overview
x29uucpd provides UUCP connectivity on X.25 networks using CCITT
Recommendations X.3 and X.29. With x29uucpd, users on HP 9000 host
systems with X.25 access and UUCP can execute UUCP subsystem
commands to other systems running X.25, PAD support, and UUCP.
x29uucpd interfaces with the X.25 subsystem through BSD Sockets to
initiate call request packets to remote systems on X.25. When a call
request arrives at a destination system, it is received by the PAD support
service.
NOTE x29uucpd creates device files in the /dev/x29/ directory. The device files
must be configured in the UUCP subsystem in order for UUCP to
interface with x29uucpd.
The x29uucpd user-level program provides support for UUCP file
transfers. It accesses X.25 level 3 through Berkeley Sockets
(programmatic interface) and uses PTY pairs for the terminal interface
to UUCP (see the following illustration).
