I've often found it frustrating that Sun OS 3.5 (maybe others) doesn't have 
a man page for uucico.  I asked someone about this once, and they told me 
there was no man page because uucico (as opposed to uucp) was not intended 
to be used DIRECTLY by administrators.  Probably though it just got swept
under the rug and forgotten.

Some months ago (while trying to debug uucp/Trailblazer) I cobbled together 
a skeleton man page for uucico that gave the synopsis, etc, just so I 
wouldn't have to thumb through the book.  Does anyone have a REAL man page 
for old uucico (not HDB) that they can share?
