Well, yes and no.  It plays with sockets doing a listen and opening a
a connection and then simulates a login and finally runs uucico passing
the open sockets as stdin/stdout.  If you have a completely functional
socket-emulation package, it shouldn't be a big deal.  Also, your uucp
is expected to know that it shouldn't try to do all those terminal
oriented ioctls on sockets...
