Does Microsoft Services for UNIX include UUCP? ;-)

Then again, there's always Kermit.  I'm convinced that after the
glaciers have returned, the insects have inherited the Earth, and the
sun is but a burnt out cinder in space, there will still be Tandy Xenix
Systems running Filepro... and Kermit to let them talk to the world...
or what's left of it, anyway. ;-)
