I can't see why it wouldn't work. All uucp implementations, I believe,
will accept the g protocol. The uucps negotiate the protocol between
themselves.

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do with the pop server. If you 
want incoming mail to go to the 3b2s, I would set up a mailer table that
looks something like:

	3b2.some.dom	uucp:3b2name 

Incoming would go to the 3b2 at the next poll and would be delivered to
the user as local mail. Sendmail will hand the mail off to uucp which will
spool it for the next poll. The pop server isn't involved.

If you want users on the 3b2 to read mail stored on the fbsd box, or a
dial in user on the fbsd box to read mail that has been transfered to the
3b2, I think you're out of luck. (Unless, of course, you want to get
tcp/ip running.)
