Forgive the stupid question :-), but *how* does one coerce uucico to use
'f' or 'e' or 'x' or ANYTHING other than 'g' on a standard dialup line?
Is this highly machine/version specific?  Do you need to have UUCP source
code?  I'm running HDB UUCP on an AT&T 3B1, and would like to experiment
(having ongoing problems with a UUCP link due to buffering in SUNY's IBX
digital phone system).  Any suggestions would be appreciated!
