Well, I have once again been confused by uucp.  After I got a couple
letters with suggestions (thanks!), I went back and tried acucntrl
again.  Lo and behold, it worked.  I mistakenly assumed that things
weren't working when I couldn't get 'tip' to work (I am working with
a 4.3beta system, a US Robotics Password on a DH).  However, dialing
still didn't work.  I seems that the Password isn't completely Hayes
compatable.  When it receives a <CR>, you have to wait a bit before
sending it something else.  I remembered this because I have the same
problem with my Password at home.  Anyway, in 'hys.c', when it sends
the phone number, it sends a "\rATDT" (or "P").  The phone number gets
lost so the dial fails.  I took out the superfluous <CR> and it worked.
