   Yes. I have.   
      
   Post details. I can help.   
      
   Basic info that helped me ...   
      
   - Basically, UUCP is two uucico's talking to each other over a call. One is   
   caller, other is receiver.   
      
   - A classic way to setup UUCP is to set uucico as the login shell of a   
   dedicated uucp account. It won't be running all the time (it does not need to   
   be) but will be when "called" upon login. This integrates nicely with ssh.   
   Having the uucico's listen over tcp or on a serial port is also possible.   
      
   - For receiver:   
      Need to define uucp users in /etc/uucp/passwd   
      Nodenames of systems that will call you need to be in /etc/uucp/sys   
      
   - For caller:   
      Receiver system username and password needs to be /etc/uucp/call   
      Method of connection to receiver must be /etc/uucp/Port   
      
   - If your system is both a caller and receiver then both the above apply.   
      
   - The forward-from and forward-to options in /etc/uucp/sys enable forwarding.   
      This allows callers to give receivers files for other systems. They will   
   hold   
      the file until they call/get a call from the other system.   
      Not applicable if you only have two uucico's.   
      
   - Postfix supports UUCP and can integrate with your install. This allows you to   
      send mail via UUCP to other systems reachable in your configs.
