I'm not sure if true UUCP with the UUCP protocal is possible...

METAL/FV the setup involves (correct me if I'm wrong) getting a UUCP
account with the unix shell (not the UUCP program) as the startup...then
you install a serious of shell scripts....and you might edit the login
file to run them...anyway...the FV BBS then has a dialog with the unix
system and those shell scripts and downloads the stuff in an Apple
friendly way....I think....correct me if I'm wrong....
