Agreed.  I have four systems in this current micro UUCP network, one 
Ubuntu and three Gentoo, all working happily with each other.

The macOS system that I am working on adding to the mix is the cranky 
one.  And even then, it's only cranky if you don't sweet talk it.  If 
you do sweet talk it, it works like it should.

Here, sweet talk means adding "-r" to uuto and uucp, then calling uucico 
as the UUCP user.
