The answer to the above question is a qualified yes. I have a port of UUPC to
CP/M-80 (using Aztec C), but it is not fully debugged.  Actually, it's only
barely debugged - I haven't gotten it through the dial-up sequence yet. :-)
  
It's also a port of the original version released to the net two years ago,
and I understand that UUPC has been revised and improved since then.
  
Progress is likely to be slow as I am temporarily working two jobs and don't
have the time to futz with it right now. (This is my third run at the problem,
and the second promising one - I have *some* idea of the rough road ahead. :-)
  
There may be another version available soon, but the developer of that version
will have to speak for himself, if he so chooses. One way or another, we'll
have it!!
