   One funny thing I just noticed last night:  if I start up uucico without
any work to send, it generally won't work.  If, on the other hand, I send
something, it seems to receive OK.  I'm going to play around with this for
a while and see if that holds up and, if so, see if I can find any difference
between what it does when there's work and what it does when there isn't.
The site I'm fed from also runs Xenix 2.3.2; I may try getting a feed from
another site (a Sun 2) to see if it's perhaps a bug in the Xenix uucico.
