advantages of uucp over tcp/ip?

[Johnny Szeto]

Hi:

	Can someone give me an illustration what the advantages of
uucp over tcp/ip are?  I come across all these commands like cu, uux,
etc.  But why bother having them around if ftp and telnet are so much
easier to use with a single internet address?
	
	Also, when I try using nslookup to search for some internet
addresses the server simply reports that there is no such domain.
Most of these problematic addresses are those with suffix like uunet
and uu.com.  What is the problem?

	Thanks for answering my questions

Szeto.
