There have been several people looking/working at porting GNU UUCP to the Gs to
run under GNO.  GNO V 1.0 did not have enough interpocess communication to cut
it, but GNO 2.0 (whish is shipping now) appears to.  I would guess that in the
next couple of months it should be ready.

NOTE -- This will require GNO 2.0

(Of course with GNO 2.0 you can also have a TCP/IP SLIP link to the net)
