UUCP

UUCP is short for Unix-to-Unix copy, which is an early peer-to-peer data networking technology — initially using dial-up modems — for copying files, sending email, and transferring netnews; it was part of early UNIX. It was used by Usenet, an early wide area data network (roughly contemporaneous with the early Internet).
