'Scuse me.  You're right, I "mispoke."  The point I was
making is valid, however.  It should be easy to write a
UUCP replacement using the Kermit protocol, which is well
documented and understood.  The program could be given away
for use under Minix.

It probably wouldn't even be too hard to simply "exec"
Kermit instead of uucico.
