UUCP?

[Christopher Osburn]

Forgot about the g protocol...i don't think we had that the last time  
i used uucp for anything (mid 80s).  Regardless of protocol, it  
should be straightforward to dump the payload on a UI packet just  
like with aprs and tcp/ip.  If we set up the TNCs correctly, the  
machines at either end might be fooled into just seeing a straight  
serial line, or at worst a modem...

(besides, i'd pick a secret frequency and do it at 9600 baud...Bob  
won't object to that because he doesn't think it works :-))
