To the best of my knowledge, DECUS UUCP was never ported from VAX
to Alpha. I started to do it, but found that some of the stuff I
didn't understand was tightly tied to the VAX stack structure. At
that point, I ran out of time and interest. I kept my VAXstation-II
running until a few months ago just to support UUCP, but when my ISP
changed hands they broke UUCP and declined to fix it.
