You'll find that even if you do get this problem solved, its much too
painful to run an application -NXHost'ed across a SLIP connection.  This has
been my experience.

Look in /etc/inetd.conf, and uncomment the line:

#uucp   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/etc/uucpd          uucpd

and either restart or send a HUP signal to the /etc/inetd process.
