The above isn't correct.  With UUPC software, a modem, and news
reader software (such as rn) one can have a fully functioning USENET and
UUCPnet node.  The Mush mailer is available for anonymous ftp
from ucbvax.berkeley.edu and these other pieces are available for
anonymous ftp from a number of places.  Most assuredly Ufgate is not
the only solution nor was it the first solution.  UUPC has been around
for quite a while now.

The above are all freely distributable software to the best of my 
recollection but you should check the software itself to be sure.
