Description-en: call up another system
The cu command is used to call up another system and act as a dial-in
terminal (mostly on a serial line). It can also do simple file transfers
with no error checking.
.
cu is part of the UUCP source but has been split into its
own package because it can be useful even if you do not do
uucp.
