[comp.sys.handhelds] UUCP for palmtops?

I know this is somewhat off-the-wall, but does anyone have any idea of what the
chances are of being able to implement UUCP for a palmtop? My wife has a Sharp
OZ-8200 and I am setting up UUCP on my VAX so she can get her EMail. I can
fairly easily set her up to dial in to the VAX as a dumb terminal, but what
would be nice would be the ability to run some sort of store-and-forward mailer
from the Sharp. Never having even looked in to what is involved in programming
the thing, and never having written a UUCP mailer, I just want some idea of
whether this is feasible. I know I could get her a laptop, but that is not
compatible with her lifestyle (she is going to spend the next legislative
session at the state capitol where phone access is quite a problem, and already
has enough stuff to lug). Any ideas would be welcome.
