Just posted to net.sources was the source for John Gilmore's uuslave - a
free software implementation of the uucico/uucp protocols.  It will compile
and run under BSD and SysV, so it shouldn't be too hard to port to minix
(I'd do it if I had minix source yet, and the time to do it). The other
programs in the uucp family are nowhere near as complicated, and should be
easy to write from te manuals even.    There's no barrier to using uucp
on minix.
