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. :-)
