  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.
