Oh, there definitely is one. It's called UUCP for Unix to Unix CoPy, and it's
the basis for ALL types of Internet connections. Telnet, FTP, Gopher, and
HTTP are all based upon UUCP. If you have an older system, it's probably
still available, just rarely used. I don't think newer systems have UUCP
as a separate program still included.
