I'm running the uucp that comes with SCO OpenDesktop, which, from what I've
heard, is a QuasiHoneyDanBer of questionable parentage.

The challenge: art-sy's mail feed and news feed are the same.  art-sy always
initiates the call.  Right now, art-sy polls during the wee smalls, because
there's usually a couple of hours of news to get.

I'd like to be able to poll during the day to get mail in and out, but I
don't want to waste day connect time on news.  What would be really nice
would be a way to invoke uucico that said "transfer only jobs of grade N or
higher" during the day, and leave other grades, like news, for later.

Anybody know of such a trick?
