I think that's either 'e' or 't' uucico protocol.   I've forgoten (and I
wrote 'e').  But look at the uucico code in either a late version og
Honey-Dan-BER or the Taylor UUCP rewrite, as I think they have all those
protocols.

We can take this off line.   As I said, it been done a numberof times with
simh and the like.   The key is that simh creates a 'serial line' on a TCP
port.    You tell UNIX to hang a login off it and then you telnet or
whatever to that port.    The older system running in simh, thinks it has a
serial line.   It pretty much just works; al biet is slow as hell and chews
up a ton of resources.

You just need to engage of a us old folks that run UUCP back in the day ;-)
