This is definitely *in*correct. Sun has never supplied TCP support in its
uucp and, as far as I know, has never promised to do so. As proof, I
offer the absence of uucpd in the standard release of SunOS 3.X and 4.X.
To get TCP support, you must have a source license for BSD. Compile the
source for uucp and install on your Sun and away you go. There were some
diffs that were necessary for SunOS 3.X. I got a copy a while back from
someone at uunet, so I guess they may be available from that site via ftp.
I have no idea whether there is a separate set of diffs for SunOS 4.X.
