This presumes that the person in question has a UUCP with the same "UUCP over
TCP" feature that yours does.  This is not a universal feature; prior to the
release of Honey DanBer, I don't think any releases from AT&T had this feature
in their UUCP (it was added to the standard AT&T UUCP, along with lots of other
stuff, in various 4BSD UUCPs), and I think Honey DanBer does it differently.
