To talk UUCP over TCP/IP, you need a version of UUCP that supports that. Right now, that means Basic Networking Utilities in System VR3, and 4.3BSD UUCP. If your using SunOS, your out of luck unless you have a source license. Note that BNU and 4.3 use incompatible UUCP protocols, and *cannot* talk to each other. On alternative that people have tried is running across a Telnet terminal mux, like a Bridge box. In this case, the computer is talking to Telnet using plain ol' RS-232C. But you get screwed by the special characters that are eaten by Telnet. So that doesn't work either.
