(Probably just a basic UNIX question...)

We have recently acquired two SGI personal Iris stations.  
We will be connecting them with ethernet in about a month or so, but in the
interim, we would like to transfer files between the two machines.

Both machines have the UUCP programs on them.  I imagine that it is possible 
to use UUCP over the serial lines (Ie. /dev/ttyd2) ?

If so, how does one go about setting up and using UUCP?
The man pages don't provide much information on setting up for UUCP.
 
 Thanks,
