Yes, the AIX implementation of HDB UUCP is merely a port of the original
source code (I'm the guy who fixes UUCP on AIX V2.2.1, for the record).
All but one of the "enhancements" made by IBM were done in the form of
new commands;  the old functionality has remained the same.  UUCICO was
modified recently to accept a '-t [time]' flag which allows the user to
increase the timeout on startup and between packets, but other than that
you're looking at vanilla HDB.

Doesn't AT&T sell it for a few thousand dollars?
