Was this the UUCP that was available for CP/M?
I found it on the
old Walnut Creek CD, moved it over to my CP/M box via SneakerNet
(I ran CP/M for years, carefully avoiding DOS/WinDoze) and it
worked; it was overlaid to hell and back hence really slow, but it
worked.
Maybe? Though I tend to doubt it. It looks like Waffle originally ran on
the Apple II, but was fairly quickly ported to DOS and then Unix/Xenix.
I believe it was written in C, but the source code is not generally
available. More information on it is here:

No; that doesn't ring any bells with me. It was definitely for CP/M, for
the Australian Microbee, but I have since lost the CD and the floppies.
And the most amusing thing about the Microbee (yeah, getting OT here) was
that serial comms was done by bit-banging on a parallel port... 9600
half-duplex, or 2400 full-duplex.
I tried to bring up KA9Q with a view to getting SLIP working, but no.
