1) As presented in software-suggestions, the uucp programs should
probably be configured for looking for /etc/uucpname since quite often
the machine's hostname is not the same as its uucp name. All that is
needed is a two-line change in uucp.h (comment one line out, and
uncomment another).
2) Trying to use "hayesq" in L-devices causes uucico to dump core.
Details unknown.
3) uucp/aculib has 3 types of hayes configured in. It could really get
away with one with a more complex initialization string (you will lose
some of the special configuration done on the 2400 baud modem, but this
is already lost when it disconnects, and it doesn't use it in the
middle. It is also overkill. Do you really want AT&F???) The one
problem with combining them is that you force the modem into a reset
state when you are done (ATZ). Admittedly, this isn't bad... but it
defeats the purpose of "hayesq" (assuming it worked).
