True enough, but cu still doesn't attempt to execute the login script
found in the Systems file.  Otherwise you would end up logged in as
"nuucp" or something equally useless for interactive work.  Cu just
uses the device and phone number fields to set up the connection.  The
original question regarded debugging the uucico login script which is
ignored by cu.
