WaZOO

   <protocol> Warp-zillion Opus-to-Opus.  {Fidonet}'s
   {session layer} {protocol}.  Although it mentions {Opus} (a
   specific {BBS} from the 1980s), WaZOO is the session protocol
   used for the Fidonet network.  Because WaZOO is much more
   efficient than other mechanisms (e.g., {FTP}), it is sometimes
   used for automated or batch communications in other parts of
   the {Internet}.
