uucp seems to connect ok under 2.0 (so far). As far as a patch goes,

I don't know about 1.0, but under 2.0 if you go to the mail preferences, 
you can set the "hide on auto-launch" option.

If you can ftp to eesun1.arl.utexas.edu (129.107.2.51), I think in 
public/NeXT/docs you'll find the DSP tech docs you're looking for.
