Is there any way to make an exiting uucico (HDB) look for more work
that can be done with the device just released?  I have a transmissions
that are equivalent to mailing lists in that they generate uux jobs to
many sites at the same time.  Once the modems are all busy, the rest
get DEVICE LOCKED errors and are not re-tried until cron kicks off a
uusched process.  It isn't possible to tie the number to uuscheds to
the number of modems since I have several incompatible classes of
modems (one type is actually a satellite link), so the retries may
also generate more DEVICE LOCKED errors and back off the retry time
to a point where the transmission is seriously delayed even though
the lines are idle at various times.  I'd prefer to keep the lines
busy until all the jobs are completed.
