 Unless I'm mistaken Dave is talking about a transmittion method that's
 actually been used.  There is actually an RFC for it. 
 
 Haven't carrier pigeons been extinct long before IP and UUCP were
 developed? 
 
 Nope.  The RFC exists (RFC 1149) and there has been a practical
 implementation.  See 
http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/ 
For a moment I wondered if the Web site was set up using the same protocol
(as a proof of concept?) but luckily it's just a normal Web site. :)
