Being that original author I want to state that I do know the difference.
I want to use the setup becaus phone charges for my ppp provider are cheaper
then those for the uucp provider. I want to log in at my ppp provider and
telnet to the uucp provider, then uucico has to grab the data from there
trough something like sernet.device. I'll be trying to set this up in a
couple of days. If things work out ok I'll post here.

C'ya,
