I run UUCP on OpenBSD for some very remote sites connected with satellite modems (using UUCP-over-IP, not pure UUCP, where the dial-up script initiates the UUCP exchange). UUCP was recently removed from the base OpenBSD distribution but is still available as a package.

I honestly cannot see it work on macOS because I cannot even remotely imagine Apple having any interest whatsoever in ensuring that it works with the various changes they made to “standard Unix” (launchd, sandboxing, read-only /, etc.).

Are you trying to configure dial-up UUCP or UUCP-over-IP with uucpd?
