the tb knows 'g', but does not know the uucp transaction protocol (S,
R, C, H, P, etc.).  stripping the 'g' frame would require spoofing the
upper level as well.  this is hard, so the tb doesn't bother; it sends
the 'g' frame intact and models the 'g' state machine.  this rules out
a uucp/kermit gateway.

i echo les' question -- why would anyone bother? -- but not his other
sentiments.
