Brian Buhrow and I replaced a completely failing
database-synchronization-over-Microsoft-Exchange system with UUCP across
American President Lines and Neptune Orient Lines fleets, back in the mid-90s.
UUCP worked perfectly (Exchange connections were failing ~90% of the time), was
much faster (average sync time on each change reduced from about three minutes
to a few seconds), and saved them several million dollars a year in satellite
bandwidth costs.
UUCP kicks ass.
