There are a couple of ways I know of to get UUCP on VMS:

	1. DECSHELL V2.0 offers UUCP on VMS.  Catch: it is not shipping, 
	   except in Field Test until December 1986.  Contact Tracy Talcott
	   at ...decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-metoo!talcott for more information.

	2. Cheaters way: I have a MicroVAX running ULTRIX and DECnet on
	   a local Ethernet.  I simply make my UUCP connections to the
	   MicroVAX then DECnet the appropriate stuff to VMS.  I do this
	   every day and it works great.  It may also be possible to do
	   a similar thing using TCP/IP on ULTRIX and VMS, but I haven't 
	   played with that yet.

	3. Microtel Pacific Research ported UUCP to VMS many moons ago.
	   Last I heard, it did not work after Version 4 of VMS. 

I hope this helps out.  Feel free to send mail if you want further info.
I don't read the usenet very often.
