this is a reply too)
 
[ Suggesting ZMODEM as uucp-h protocol for high speed modems ]

'Not available in distributed uucp's'
 
Of course not! Then, I would already have it!
 
'Try to write uucp from scratch'
 
The point was, that that would not be necessarry. The complete file
transfer methods an login procedure have already been programmed. The
only thing that needs to be done is modify to file request/supply
method. It should be made upwardy compatible to work with ZMODEM.
 
This really shouln't be too much work because such a negotiation
mechanism is already present in UUCP, and the hooks (I just read) are
already built in ZMODEM. Only the link has to be programmed.
 
Isn't there ANY PD uucp source available out there? (I'm reading the
news for just a couple of week now)
 
'Waiting for ATT could be long'
 
I fear so too, so suggest to build something that is always upwardly
compitible with the latest uucp of ATT and/or other significant UNIX
developpers.
