To configure UUCP so that it can communicate with remote systems, you must establish the appropriate communication protocols in the Systems file and create working directories for each supported remote system. To do this:

1. Obtain information about remote systems.
2. Create or edit the required configuration files.
3. Compile the configuration files with the uucc utility.
4. Create working directories for local and remote systems.
5. Schedule UUCP transfers with cron.
