UUCP is neat.  My first ISP had "proprietary" windows software for reading 
mail and news that worked via UUCP.  You could use POP3 or NNTP over dialup 
PPP as well, but their software was actually pretty good.  I remember that 
I had my first Linux box running UUCP long before I ever got PPP 
configured.  For news, they had a bot that you would send 
subscribe/unsubscribe messages to let the news server know what groups you 
wanted and what groups you didn't.

What sucked was that it was an 800 # service, and cost $5.40/hr after you 
used up your 4 hours that was included in your monthly fee.
