 Unfortunately for those whose UUCP comes without uucpd, you probably can't
use versions which might be publicly available.  Using uucpd you will
run into trouble right about the time uucico tries to change the terminal
characteristics to raw mode.  You need a uucico which is built to first
check if its stdin/stdout is a socket.
