This is incorrect.  UUCP g protocol is windowed.  Windowed protocols
have the robustness of ping-pong protocols but don't waste as much time
because they can transmit data while waiting for an ack.

A good text that discusses windowed vs. ping-pong protocols is Andrew
Tanenbaum's _Computer Networks_, Prentice-Hall 1981.
