I want to turn the AutoAnswer feature of my modem on and off at given
times.

I can do it using UUCP, except that I can't finish the UUCP connection
cleanly; it just times out.
I have the following in my crontab.local:
	30 18 * * 1-5 uucp uupoll ModemOn
and I have the following in my L.sys file:
	ModemOn Any DIR 2400 cua \
	"" AT \
	OK ATS0=2 \
	OK ATS0? \
	002 ""
I don't know how to end this file so uucico will shut down cleanly.
Debugging shows that uucico is looking for input:
	root ModemOn (8/17-15:16-258) SUCCEEDED (call to ModemOn )
	imsg looking for SYNC<

	OK
	root ModemOn (8/17-15:17-258) TIMEOUT (ModemOn)

Any suggestions?
