I don't know about the t-protocol that system means BUT in BSD uucp there's
a t protocol for TCP/IP connections. In README.TCP for BSD uucp it says that
the t protocol was added because the g protocol maxes out at 9000 Baud re-
gardless of the physical medium. It also says that the t protocol is essen-
tially the g protocol without checksumming and packetizing since it assumes
an error free channel (TCP/IP, you know). It also doesn't do ioctl's on the
sockets used.

I hope this helps and doesn't violate any copyrights.
