It looks like TCP port 540 is reserved for UUCP over TCP
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.
I / we would like to know more about the "over ether as serial" part.
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.
If you have ideas, please bring them and share them.
You just need to engage of a us old folks that run UUCP back in the day ;-)
