Page 2 of L.sys(5) in the 4.3BSD documentation documents a ``caller''
field value of TCP.  That will cause the sender's 4.3BSD UUCP system to
open a TCP connetion to the receiver's uucpd.  The receiver, of course,
needs to have configured access to uucpd.  I don't happen to have a 4.3
system on hand configured that way to tell you what the inetd.conf line
has to look like, but I recall it all being in the source directories
for uucp.  (If it isn't already configured.)
