Greetings,

I run a small uucp node on my MS Dos box (no flames please) running Waffle
software for the uucp transfer and mail/news reading.

One of my housemates has a Mac and (of course) hates my PC.  No
religious flames please.  :)  She would dearly love to read her news and 
mail on her Mac.

I have been searching the *.mac newsgrous and ftp sites looking for a uucp
program for the Mac, but all I have been able to find are mail only systems
(UUPC, GnuUucp, etc) or newsreaders that require TCP/IP, SLIP or POPs.

Please someone tell me what program or set programs that I can get so I 
can just forward her mail and news over UUCP serial link.

As much as it pains me to say:
I don't follow these newsgroups, so could you email me the answer.

Thanks
  John

PS:  I know about uAccess, but can't afford the payware upfront fee.
