-I'm trying to talk UUCP to some other JPL sites over a broadband network

-For some reason, UUCp will not talk to the port (/dev/ttya), yet `tip' and
-`kermit' have no qualms about it whatsoever.  My uucico log looks like:
-
->/usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -sothersys -x9
->finds called
->getto called
->call: no. ttya for sys othersys NO DEVICE exit code 0
-
-L-devices:
-DIR ttya unused 9600

The format of the L-devices file is:
Caller Line Useful Class Dialer [Chat ...]
At least here, the dialer field is required which should be 'direct', so
try this:
DIR ttya unused 9600 direct
