Gee, there really are 586 users out there.  Well, maybe someone can tell
me how to get around a problem I have.  I will need to set up several
586 systems for UUCP use shortly.  After looking at UUCP on the Altos it
appears that uucico does not execute a dial program.  There is a dial
program that will invoke uucico when a connection is made, but since
uucico does the scan for work this would be a major catch 22.  uucico
knows who to dial, but not how, and dial knows how to dial but not who.

Anybody got around this one?
