  It's not a driver, it's a system like UUCP.  I'm not at all sure that it
would even be possible to hack a driver together for UUCP that would
support their protocol since ACS (again, I'm guessing at the name)
transfers bidirectionally.  At some point or another uucico would be
forced to receive data while it was transmitting.  I think you'd have to
rip uucico up pretty badly ...  But it would certainly be an interesting
project.

  You can probably get information about ACS from Robert Elz
(kre@munnari.oz.au).  If he doesn't have it himself, he will certainly be
able to point you at someone who can.
