 Dr. Sudwell Brewer will discuss implementing POSIX hops as an alternative
 to the traditional MIT hops implementation of UUBP (Unix to Unix Beer
 Protocol).  A discussion of the relevant drinking vessels and RFC's will
 be followed by a lager vs. ale debate and a slide show illustrating
 characteristics of userspace barley vs. kernel barley.  Bring your own
 bottle opener.

NAME
  uubp -- Unix-to-Unix beer protocol

SYNOPSIS
  uubp [- acefghlqy] site

DESCRIPTION
uubp allows the user to transfer beer, ale, or other fermented grain 
beverages between network sites. Using TCP/IP (telecommunications protocol 
for imbibing pilsners), uubp encodes beer from a local file system into 
packets suitable for FTP (fermentation transfer protocol) delivery at a 
remote IP site.

Example:
	% uubp -c"AMBER" -f0.7 -y0 -q2 198.137.240.100

The preceding example sends two six-packs (-q2) of amber ale (-c"AMBER")  
with a fizziness quotient of 70%, brewed using yeast of type 0 
(saccharo-myces cerevisiae) to IP address 198.137.240.100, which is the 
IP address for the White House.

RESTRICTIONS
Both source and destination sites must be running uubp-daemon.  In addition, 
local restrictions exist in many areas for the transportation of alcohol 
across state lines. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is currently involved 
in litigation to ensure the ability to distribute  beer through the uubp 
protocol according to the 21st Amendment. To support the SIG of EFF devoted 
to this cause, join the Homebrewers of the Electronic Frontier Engaged in 
Winning Electronic Independence and Zeroing Establishment Nonsense 
(HEFEWEIZEN), or send mail to hefeweizen@eff.eff.org.  Be sure to include the

NOTES
Relax.  Don't worry.  Have a homebrew!
