System: Microport Sys V/AT, 2.4 BNU/HDB uucp

Problem: Can I specify the grade traffic requested on a particular
         uucico invocation?

According to the Nutshell Book, "Managing UUCP, etc.", some systems
can specify on a Systems entry something like - 

    "systemname Any0100-0600/G,Any0700-0900/g ... "

where G and g are grades of service associated with the allowed time to call.
This may apply only to BSD systems, as the book is a little unclear.

Assume I am polling a site that provides me with a newsfeed, but I only
want to send/collect mail (at one grade of service) and collect the
news (at another grade of service) on another call.

Since my uucico does not accept a -g argument, or any other argument
that may suggest what grade to transfer, I have assumed that I cannot
do this.

Anything I've overlooked?

John
