Calling all oldheads who worked with UUCP. I was flipping through an old O'Reilly book of mine and found this. Being younger, I never used UUCP, so forgive me if I understand poorly, but basically UUNET, as an ISP, had publicly accessible UUCP servers that they treated like FTP, correct?

That's cool and all, but what I wanna know is if there's any more such services available these days. I'm fascinated by UUCP and need an excuse to try it.

Hi it's #introduction time!

I'm Kelly and I've been in the #networking and #cybersecurity space for a couple decades now. (#UUNET, #Juniper, Palo Alto Networks #PAN, #Fortinet, and some startups)

I loved #programming in #BASIC on my #Commodore64 and #AppleII as a kid and recently got back into #coding with #Python.

I created some #json #cli #automation utilities (jc, jello, jellex, jtbl). love #unix!

Was in an indie rock band as a kid... now I play kids songs on #guitar for my two kiddos!

Interviewing someone today who has #UUNet on their resume and wow, that really takes me back.
