"UUCPnet" is a network of machines communicating via the UUCP protocol.

	It provides [mostly-]single-hop file transfers and remote
	execution, and multiple-hop, source-routed electronic mail.

"Usenet" is a distributed bulletin board system.

	It achieves this distribution using UUCP file transfer, UUCP
	remote execution, UUCP mail, other nets' mail, other nets' file
	transfer, or whatever else comes to hand.  It *does not*
	provide electronic mail service; articles posted to it are a
	good source of electronic mail addresses, though.
