I received responses from the following people:

	jlaiho@ichaos.nullnet.fi (Juha Laiho)
	ian@airs.com (Ian Lance Taylor)
	irscscm!bogart!phzzzt!mfaurot@next32.isnet.com (Michael Faurot)
	chip@chinacat.unicom.com (Chip Rosenthal)

They all recommended I look into the Taylor uucp implementation which 
should be portable to a XENIX/386 platform and which does support the
'f' protocol.  My thanks to all of these folks for their assistance.
