    UUCP in its present form is is perfect for telephone based
    interactions; prepare files, place the call, blast the files over the
    phone as fast as you can, hang up, and process what you got in from the
    remote.
    
I almost agree with Erik. Adding a standard full-duplex protocol to take
advantage of the other direction is the missing piece.  This is based upon
the assumption that the world will eventually migrate to full duplex links.
V.32 modems are a reality. ISDN may not be that far away.
