There's a better way, which is undocumented and which I learned from
reading the source.

In the hayes dialer, if the phone number field of an L.sys entry begins
with the two characters "-S", the '-' is dropped and the command is
prefixed with "AT" rather than "ATDT".  You supply the "DT" in the string.

So, for example, you might have the following in L.sys:

site Any ACU 19200 -S50=255S111=30X0DT5551212 ogin:--ogin: name sword: xxx

which would set the two S-registers to their proper values for UUCP
transfers, and disable the advanced result codes which would otherwise
confuse the hayes dialer.  (Note that I am not suggesting that this
exact entry is what you should use, just an example -- you get the idea.)
