There are some FidoNet boards that import UUCP newsgroups, but all the ones I
have seen are 'read only.'  The board does not send any messages back to UUCP.
You can also send mail across the country, or even the world.  But, then, you
can do that with UUCP can't you?  In FidoNet it usually costs 25 cents to send
a message long distance within North America, and a few dollars for Europe and
Australia.
