Yes, you're right.  I believe the original question was about calling
to two different phone numbers.  You do need two separate entries in
the Systems file to specify different phone numbers.  But, you can
still have two or more device entries for uucico to try if one is
busy.  The device selected will dial the phone number from the Systems
entry.
