You CAN use UUCP out on a LAT port. Many people appear to be having problems
getting this to run, but it is possible.  We have a DECsystem 3100 running
Ultrix 4.0 and a DECserver 200.  I also got uucp to work fine under Ultrix
3.1D.

If you want the details on how to get this to work, just let me know.
