This is a shot in the dark, but I'll try anyway...Does anyone out there know
of a package for IBM's VM operating system that would allow a IBM 'frame to
emulate UUCP?  I know this is weird, but here's what this package would need
to do:

o Run on an IBM 4381 mainframe running VM/SP/CMS rel. 5

o Send and receive files in a manner acceptable to UUCP when polled by a Unix
  box over a 2400-baud dial-up line.

I know that someone at Penn State (I believe) wrote a package called UREP to
allow Unix machines to emualte IBM's RSCS protocol, but has anyone done the
reverse for UUCP?  If anyone out there knows, please e-mail me directly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I know that the readers of this forum are not in general knowledgeable
     about VM, but I figured that someone out there might have had experience
     in getting Unix and IBM systems to communicate.  If anyone has any sug-
     gestions for a more appropriate place to post, please let me know.
