It is, in fact, done. uAccess, our commercial UUCP mail news program
for the Macintosh provides a complete news and mail application running
in the background under MultiFinder. UUCP is the current transport
protocol.

There are also two well known public domain versions of the UUCP g
protocol, UUPC and gnu uucp. However, both of these are lacking in
the user agent for mail and news.
