Calling *out* on multiple lines won't be a problem, but ISC's technique
for limiting users (at least what I've seen in 1.0.4-1.0.6) is incapable
of distinquishing UUCP from user logins so you couldn't allow them to
simultaneously dial in without subverting the limit mechanism.

Unfortunately, it's not clear whether ISC (or many other vendor's of
user-restricted software) really intended to prohibit uucp call-ins or
not.  I wish the policy was clearer, and the mechanism capable of allowing 
*legitimate* "extensions".  Then again, it's probably a strict reading
of the AT&T licensing policies.
