  WaZOO
       
           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}.
