Our Eunice "uucp" seems to be working well now, and I can make our
command files available if anyone is interested.  These require only
a binary license.

We poll and are called by 6 sites, and CPU's of 4? different manufacturers,
and receive netnews.  These command files are for the uucp portion only.

These solve many problems, such as:
 * /usr/lib/uucp/.XQTDIR getting blown away,
 * Modem refuses to hang up after polling,
 * Need to shut off uuxqt to do news expire,
 * Getting the Hayes modem to dial,
 * Polling on schedule and on demand,
 * Running uucp in its own account (not as system),
 * Keeping uuxqt around without wasting cpu time (faster response,less clutter)
 * Waiting for the outgoing modem to be available,
 * Setting the protections and ownerships.
 * log files accumulating in sysmgr's home directory.
