We have a version of UUCP running on a V6 and PWB kernel.  You do
need a V7 license and UUCP is distributed as part of V7.  On a
system with a PWB tty driver it will come up real fast.  On a V6
system the tty driver uses the octal 377 value for special
purposes in erase/kill processing or some such thing.  The trouble 
is that in raw mode they end up throwing the 0377 away, even thought
they don't have to.  if uucp sends tat value in the checksum field
everything comes to a grinding halt.  it is a simple fix once you look at
the tty driver.  Other V6 things that require minor corrections are
8 bit versus 16 bit user-ids, etc.  The UUCP sources shuld be compiled
using the V7 include directories on the V6 system.
