the version of uucp running in the uk has been extensively hacked to
work over 7bit data paths. it's basically a 4.2 uucp with mucho changes.
it is not, repeat not the same as the european uucp, which gave the world
the f protocol (see 4.3 uucp). the f protocol will not work over a lot
of x.25 connections (little gripe)
