There is a program called UUPC, which can act as a (almost) full uucp
site.  I'm sure that it will work through a serial port, as well as through
a modem.  The only things it doesn't do is
 (a) send a file in response to a request from the 'calling' node.
 (b) route mail past itself.  All mail not for the localhost goes to
     the "mail server" node.
 (c) verify usernames against a /etc/passwd file.

It seems as though this might fill some of your needs, though not
all of them.  The author(s) of uupc can be reached at
  sl at van-bc.uucp
 skl at van-bc.uucp
  (boht skl and sl)

I can answer any informal questions, as can a couple of my friends who
actually USE it within their own internal networks.  E-Mail me for
additional information.
