Yes -- but if you were trying to configure uucp to make regular

And configuring for uucp also makes it easier for cu or tip to
work calling by system name, instead of having to pass parameters
through manually. IIRC, kermit did not use any of those features, so it
was as easy to use on unix/linux as on MS-DOS or whatever. Probably,
other terminal emulator programs were similarly easy.

I stopped using uucp around '2000.
