The main problem with that approach is that it binds access with mail. You
need to use the same provider for both. While, with UUCP over TCP, you can
have an access provider which is close (i.e. cheap) and a mail provider
anywhere on the Internet. This is specially important in third-world countries
where providers are quite unreliable and you don't want to trust them for
handling your mail.

I use SSH for that :-)
