Not likely (using batch files).  The computer at the other end of
the line is running a version of uucico.  If you somehow manage to
convince it to talk to you then you have effectively reimplemented
uucico on your system.  Since uucico uses its own communication
protocol, even if you get past the login and connection establishment
phase, a non-uucp comm program will not be able to continue with
the file transfer.

The news group comp.mail.uucp would be a good place to ask.  You
could also look at the source for Taylor UUCP or one of the DOS
UUCP's such as UUPC.

You could also ask in comp.os.msdos.mail-news for solutions to the
performance problem with your specific package.
