I think the following entries in Permissions will do what you
want:
REQUEST=no
And perhaps:
SENDFILES=call

I think you are mistaken about this.  However, you should note that
the relevant Permissions entry is found by searching for a
matching  MACHINE=name entry when you are placing a call out, but
by the LOGNAME=login_name on inbound calls.  Thus you must have
different machines use different login names if you want to
set up different Permission entries for their inbound calls.
If you are using nuucp as the login name, then you will get the
permissions associated with the first entry for nuucp in Permissions.

The REQUEST option applies to either inbound or outbound calls and
determines whether you will allow their requests to be handled
(i.e. in slave mode).  The SENDFILES option is only significant
for inbound calls (according to LOGNAME) and determines whether
you will send work you have already queued on this connection or
wait until you call them.
