In reference to the article about changing uucico to prevent 
automatic calling...

Changing ownership and/or permissions of the uucico process
under XENIX can cause it to fail intermittantly.  A more correct
method is to set the "Time to Call" in the Systems file (use
uuinstall to access that) to "Never."  When that is done,
uucico will never be started for outbound mail.  Then, a polling
setup can be run to periodically call, or anyone can issue a 
manual call by using

     /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -Suunet -r1

to initiate the call.  Regular mail and uucp commands will simply
queue, and wait for a transmission to be manually started.

Hope this helps!
