As an aside, one thing you do have to be careful about when using PC Pursuit
is multiple simultaneous connections using the same account.  By all accounts
Telenet strongly frowns on the use of one account for several connections at
the same time.  This can happen easily with UUCP polling if you poll several
sites and you're not careful about timing, or if you use your PC Pursuit
account for personal calls (BBSes and whatever), and also use it for your
UUCP connections.
