Various versions of the uuslave program were posted near february/march.
Basically it is a file transfer program that runs on a pc and executes 
requests from a remote (presumably unix) system. However, the pc cannot 
generate work for the remote system. If that is not what you want it may
be of interest to know that we are currently working on a utility that 
allows Ms-Dos users to create, send and receive email (using any reasonable 
wordprocessor), and effectively turns a pc into a "non-routing uucp node". 
I plan to post this somewhere in the second half of this year, but am
willing to mail a pre-release on request.
