As far as I know, you can't. The only UUCP version I am aware of that does
*totally* general call progress monitoring is the new 4.3BSD version that Rick
Adams and I are torturing. (Hey Bob, have you tried compiling that puppy yet?)
It's rather difficult to do in anything less complex than C code; try making it
work with a dozen different Hayes compatibles and you'll see what I mean. But
it sure is nice seeing BUSY, VOICE, NO DIAL TONE, etc. in my LOGFILE.

C'mon Peter, we're waiting for you to say something. :-)
