And I bet your desktop is running an X *server*.? Oh, the horrors!

If you really want to compute like it's 1975, there's always uucp, but
I think you would be much better served (pun intended) by learning how
to use scp or nfs/samba.


*CAVEAT LECTOR*
uucp may be *EXACTLY* what I'm looking for YMMV ;/
need to read further

I've been reading ;} "cu" describes what I envisioned.
https://www.airs.com/ian/uucp-doc/uucp_3.html#SEC21 states in part:
The cu program is used to call up another system and act as
a dial in terminal. It can also do simple file transfers with > no error 
checking.

It says "dial in terminal". If I read the documentation,
[https://www.airs.com/ian/uucp-doc/uucp_6.html#SEC79]
correctly, that should be no problem. The documentation explicitly notes
security issues. For my _initial_ usage that should not be an issue.

I hate to burst your bubble, but 'cu' is technically a Client,
and the getty running on the other end, or what ever you login to
is known as a Server.

Your simply going to use 50 year old tech to do what one would
do with scp/ssh today.


_*ROFL*_ !!!!!!!!!!!! ;/
I have a _suspicion_ that I once carpooled with an early contributor.

I *ASSERT* my quote represents *MY* goal(s).

How about assuming I actual *KNOW* what *I* want?
This generation has different goals.
*MAY* I have mine?????????????????????

P.S.
I wish people would answer the "question asked" rather than ...
*ROFL*
