I'm reasonably sure I know people who did uucp over TCP/IP, but for<br class="">
most of us, the faster we could get rid of our bang paths the better.<br class="">
<br class="">
For several years there was a project that maintained a distributed<br class="">
uucp connection database so if you sent mail to decvax!bob or<br class="">
<a href="mailto:bob@decvax.uucp" class="">bob@decvax.uucp</a>, your MTA could rewrite it to<br class="">
moe!larry!curly!decvax!bob.<br class="">

Subject: Re: Questions about the start of the mapping projecdt</p>
<p class="">Well,<br class="">
The original data was collected by Steve Bellovin but he sort<br class="">
of gave up at some point. I think that Peter Honeyman did some collecting<br class="">
back then also.</p>
<p class="">At that time I was running wjh12 as a internet/uucp/bitnet gateway.<br class="">
I needed some better data. So I:<br class="">
1/ had a programmer here rig up a scan-the-news-headers program<br class="">
to get an operating base<br class="">
2/ sent out:<br class="">
a) a posting to some newsgroup asking for the info<br class="">
b) letters to usenet & root at all nodes that I<br class="">
had found by scanning headers<br class="">
c) then to all nodes found in the new data</p>
<p class="">When I started the process I got calls from Rob Kolstad & Mark Horton<br class="">
Rob offered to help in the data gathering, we agreed to have<br class="">
him start at one end of the alphebet & me at the other.</p>
<p class="">Mark was about to do the same thing, Rob & I agreed to pass on<br class="">
the data to Mark as we got it done.</p>
<p class="">After the 1st full pass, Rob & I passed all operations over to Mark & the<br class="">
mapping project.</p>
