The Australian Public Access Association still serves a lot of UUCP
sites, like mine. I'd estimate there's about 150 leafsites here.
(I also know of a few ISPs in Brisbane using dialup uucp/rnews to
share Usenet around, avoiding exorbitant Teleco volume charging. :)

I'd all be for moving UUCP out of base, if it weren't for "cu"-- the
most versatile terminal emulator available...
