I'm quite sure Sun's version of UUCP does have this feature. If you want
to poll a site over Ethernet, just replace DIR (or ACU) in the
corresponding entry in L.sys by TCP and make sure your /etc/services has
an entry like
uucp 540/tcp uucpd # uucp daemon
and that the `uucpd' is listed in /etc/inetd.conf on the remote system.
