Probably because it's not much used these days, use of uucp was very common in the early days of Linux. I last tried seyon several years ago and couldn't get it going,
Perhaps if the need arises again you should try it. Programs get better with age and what didn't work last year may work better then expected today. I have used it in the past year with great success.
so I went for kermit and xminicom. I always used kermit for install/upgrade of Sun boxes where there was no network connection available, i just made up a say script which automated the connection commands, a colleague favoured xminicom and there is also gtkterm. Regards Sid.
