No, you can't run UUCP over TCP because Sun's UUCP is not a derivative of
4.3BSD's UUCP nor is it a derivative of one of the versions of Honey DanBer
UUCP that supports UUCP over TCP.  It isn't a derivative of 4.2BSD's UUCP
either.

Sun ships SunOS, which is derived from various 4BSD flavors and various System
V flavors (as well as including a lot of Sun code not derived from any existing
flavor of UNIX); we don't ship 4.2BSD nor 4.3BSD, so this isn't quite the right
question to ask.

The right question to ask would be "when will Sun ship a version of SunOS that
includes a a UUCP that supports UUCP over TCP?"  (don't assume that such a
version will necessarily be the 4.3BSD UUCP).  Unfortunately, I don't know the
answer to that question.

If you have 4.3BSD source, you can try porting the 4.3BSD UUCP to your Sun(s);
I believe Rick Adams ran the 4.3BSD UUCP on "seismo", which is currently a
Sun-3.
