Hi,
try getting smail, and declare your isps host you make the connection to
to function as smart host and tell smail that you want uux as smart_trans-
port. So in your smail config:
smart_path=your_isps_host
smart_transport=uux
uucp_name=your_name , refer to man 5 smail for details.
take a look at routers too, where smart_host is defined.

if you've already set up uucp, try uucico -DS your_isps_host &

don't know if that's what you were asking for,
