Others that I know about are:

	* STadel BBS/UUCALL, by David Parsons. The BBS supports
	Citadel networking plus external networkers; UUCALL is a
	combination uucico/rmail/rnews for STadel. Shareware.

	* UUMAIL, by Dale Schumacher. It's a combination uucico/rmail
	that works with your favorite editor and file pager to serve
	as a personal UUCP setup. Free. Note: This is no longer supported
	(see below).

	* UUPC, the limited UUCP system that is available on most
	personal computers. It supports only one net connection.

	* A BBS written by bill@meadow.UUCP that I haven't seen.

	* UUCICO by Clemens Schrimpe. I have seen this, but not tried
	it; the version I saw was quite limited.

	* ST Mail. (I've saved the best for last.) Dale Schumacher, Tom
	Cook, John Stanley and other STdNET folks have implemented Smail
	2.5, Bill Wells' Lmail, a very nice 7-packet negotiated windowing
	UUCP 'G' protocol, and a host of related utilities -- some ported
	from Unix sources and some original work. This is the Whole Nine 
	Yards -- intelligent routing, piping of mail to programs (such
	as an archive server, perhaps), intelligent mail routing including
	full support of domain addresses, multiple mailboxes, mail
	forwarding, automatic mailing lists, news and news forwarding,
	... and Tom even has it working	with STadel. This is in beta 
	testing, and it's working very well. Coming Real Soon Now* 
	to your favorite comp.binaries newsgroup, and free.

Feel free to add to the list.

* It would be coming more quickly if I were fixing PostNews and writing
docs instead of writing this.
