All I know is the uucp, uucico, uux, mail, etc. that come with the system work,
at least for incoming polling or on-demand outgoing mail. It does not poll, 
at least not as distributed, and I don't think uux will initiate a call.

I suspect these programs are hacked already, as news had to be hacked
to get it to work, and still has troubles.

I did several hacks here (mostly VMS command files) to get our system to poll, 
preserve /usr/lib/news/.xqtdir, setup the terminal port correctly, 
give certain commands privileges (similar to setuid), etc.  

As usual, I got minimal support from TWG on it. <<flame off?>>
