here are my modified config files. I have a dual setup running since one
is over the phone, the other runs over the internet. also, i don't use the
same nodename when i make a call. the config file is normally empty if
your hostname is also your nodename. in my case it is not, hence the
config file. the call file will have your sites you call to, login name
and password. if you run uucp over the internet the call file is not used
but you must explicitly state your login name and password in the sys
file. seems to be a bit of a bug with tailor 1.0.5
