Unreferenced date December 2009 Infobox Top level domain name uucp background ADFF2F introduced 1985 type Pseudo domain style host suffix status obsolete intendeduse To designate an address or hostname connected via UUCP networking The name uucp was a pseudo domain style suffix used in the 1980s when identifying a hostname not connected directly to the Internet , but possibly reachable through other inter network gateways. The suffix was appended to a UUCP bang path separated with a dot, e.g., host1 host2 host3.uucp . The suffix prevented messages from being routed via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SMTP in mail exchangers, and it indicated that the hostname preceding it was reachable by UUCP networking. It was not a top level domain in the Domain Name System DNS root. As UUCP hosts were not always uniquely named, and there was no official global table listing them, although the UUCP Mapping Project was an informal effort to create such a list, actual access to one e.g., for routing e mail to it required the use of a full bang path, which did not follow domain name style syntax, unless the particular software being used had been programmed to recognize particular hostnames in a domain style and route to them.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A number of pseudo top level domains to be used in naming computers have been defined at various times. These pseudo TLDs or pseudomains include .bitnet , .csnet , .exit , .i2p , .local , .onion , .oz , Freenet .freenet and .uucp . Although these pseudo TLDs look like top level domain s, and serve the same syntactic function in creating names for network endpoints, they have no meaning in the global Domain Name System and are or were used only for specialist purposes typically for addressing machines that were not reachable via the Internet Protocol for use in services such as E mail and Usenet via UUCP . Although they have no official status, they are generally regarded as having been unofficially grandfathered , and are unlikely ever to be allocated as top level domains.

For the Canadian television news program, see A News TV series . Unreferenced date September 2009 A News , originally known simply as news, was the first widely distributed program for serving and reading Usenet newsgroups . The program, written at Duke University by Steve Daniel and Tom Truscott , was released on a tape given out at the June 1980 USENIX conference held at the University of Delaware . Steve Daniel from Duke offered a presentation on the then new Usenet network and invited attendees to join. The Version 7 Seventh Edition of Unix included a MOTD message of the day facility, which allowed the system operator to cause messages to be displayed to the user at login. A News so called because each message began with A as a marker character was an expansion of this facility that allowed news messages to be distributred across an arbitrary number of systems using the new uucp service. In addition to the login display, news articles could be read at any time from the command line. A user could also post new messages to the local machine by posting to a special default newsgroup called general or queue it for network wide transmission by placing it in a public group such as NET.general . The software was designed primarily for announcements, so the interface was extremely simple. There were no provisions built in for replying to articles over news e mail replies were supported , skipping over messages, or threading. Because the system was designed only with uucp in mind, posters were identified by their uucp bang path addresses, a feature that persists albeit more for identifying servers than users in modern Usenet. ARPAnet addressing was not supported. The message format was designed for compactness rather than flexibility, consistent with the slow dialup modem s used in 1980. The initial A dictated the layout of header and message information, and expansions would require changing the initial character. This scheme was abandoned after A news for the more verb ... more details

MHSnet is a Store and forward store and forward messaging system for wide area networks. Also known as ACSnet , it formed the technology basis for the Australian Computer Science network . The system was developed at the University of Sydney by Piers Lauder and Bob Kummerfeld . It is similar in concept to UUCP , and enables transfers of email and files in an efficient manner over non dedicated links. MHSnet was a key technology in the introduction of Internet access in Australia . Due to the prohibitive costs of telecommunications structure, and the small amount of bandwidth available both internally and to other countries, MHSnet provided a system that could more efficiently utilise network resources. Gateways between the MHSnet system and the Internet were provided by many universities, and access to non academic users was granted in the early 1990s.

EDSI , or Enterprise Data Systems Incorporated, was a computer Bulletin Board System BBS located in Appleton, Wisconsin . This system was running on an IBM PS 2 Model 55SX system with SCO Xenix 2.3.2. The system used the STARBASE II BBS Software and provided many local discussion rooms as well as full access to USENET and E Mail via a dialup UUCP connection. This was Fox Valley Wisconsin s first UNIX based BBS and provided many users with early Internet access. Besides dialup access, the System Administrator, Chuck Tomasi, often held meetings at his house where the system was located. The meetings featured a basement full of various Computer terminals where everyone could sit down at a terminal and login to the BBS.

Delivery mechanisms are by overnight dialup , taking advantage of discount calling rates outside business hours, or USB memory stick . The USB stick uses the UUCP protocol, carrying information to and from a better connected location perhaps a school or local business, which acts as the dropoff for Email, and fetches web content by proxy. The email and web content is re packaged as a UUCP transaction, and ferried back on the USB stick.

Image EUnet logo.png right The roots of EUnet originally an abbreviation for European UNIX Network go back to 1982 and the first international UUCP connections. From a very loose collaboration of individual sites under the auspices of the EUUG European UNIX Users Group later EurOpen , it evolved to the fully commercial entity EUnet International Ltd. In April 1998 the company was sold to Qwest Communications International, which in turn later merged EUnet in to the illfated KPNQwest . Some of the ISPs operating under the name EUnet today can be traced back to the original EUnet, some not. Most national EUnet affiliate or subsidiaries predated other commercial Internet offerings in the respective countries by many years. To completely understand the importance and history of EUnet, it is important to realize that till the early 1990s nearly every European country had a telecommunications monopoly with an incumbent national Postal Telephone and Telegraph PTT and that commercial and non commercial provision of telecommunications services was prohibited or at least took place in a legal grey zone . During the same period, as part of an industrial political strategy to stop US domination of future network technology, the EC embarked on efforts to promote OSI protocols, founding for example R seaux Associ s pour la Recherche Europ enne RARE and associated national research network operators Deutsches Forschungsnetz DFN , SURFnet , SWITCH to name a few .
