Has anyone any info about UUCP implementation under DEC RSX-11M?

Never heard of such a thing.  

Your best bet (he said modestly) is probably to get a copy of DECUS uucp.
This is a VMS implementation, but the programming techniques are pretty
compatible with what you'll have to do under RSX-11M (uucico uses QIOs with 
no wait and ASTs, runs everything in one process, that sort of thing).  

You'll have to worry about some way to map Unix filenames to file names 
that RSX can live with.  We had to do some of that for VMS, so you can 
at least see where to put the routines in the code.  

The package also includes ALL of the text we've ever received on the net, plus
some that I wrote, about how the uucp protocol works, so you won't be working
from a standing start. 

A recent version of DECUS uucp (1.2A) appeared on the Symposium Tape that was
collected at the 1990 European DECUS Symposium.

Can I get it from an anonymous FTP or a mailserver?
