an os/2 port of fxuucico? i'm not sure... maybe a native version but i'm not 
sure on that, either... i used to run waffle bbs as a door under my RA and i 
had fxuucico on the back side pulling email and news but i don't recall if that 
was on the DOS side of my os/2 or not... when i went to GIGO, i used whatever 
it had and then later was able to use the GIGOTCP addon package... i was 
previously doing everything over POTS and was then able to get a better 
connection to the 'net... unfortunately i don't have that stuff any more as 
i've had to update the hard drives a time or two and that resulted in only the 
important stuff being moved over before the old drives died...

a CTRL-F search for fxuucico in my browser gives only two results... the DOS 
version and the documentation... apparently there's only the DOS version and i 
know that it works fine on the DOS side of os/2...
