I am having trouble getting uucico to dial out through a modem.
When invoked via cron, I get the following log messages:

uucp dinosaur  (3/28-14:07:03,8439,0) LOST LINE (LOGIN)
uucp dinosaur  (3/28-14:07:03,8439,0) FAILED (LOGIN FAILED)
uucp dinosaur  (3/28-14:07:04,8439,0) LOST LINE (LOGIN)
uucp dinosaur  (3/28-14:07:04,8439,0) FAILED (LOGIN FAILED)
uucp dinosaur  (3/28-14:07:04,8439,0) CONN FAILED (CALLER SCRIPT FAILED)

When invoked interactively by root or a normal user, the call
succeeds.  So what is it about cron that is causing this to fail?

Facts:
HP/Apollo 400
Domain OS 10.3
/dev/tty01 connected to TrailBlazerPlus/T2000 modem
uugetty against tty01
uucico script fails whether invoked with root or uucp privs

Many thanks.  Hopefully this will be obvious to someone.
