I interrupt the ethereal 88K dialogue to pose the following modest query:

In order to manually poll my uucp host after the crontab poll fails (i.e., it
gets a busy signal) I must use the debugging option in order to over-ride the
"retry time not reached" message.  The poses a problem to my uucp host, as it
creates a file which he must erase.  He tells me, however, that he knows there
is a way to do a manual poll without debugging immediately after a failed
attempt.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Perhaps the answer is to reset the
default retry to to zero somehow? Make any sense? Thanks in advance for the
help.  

I now return you to the vertiginous 88K discussion already in progress.
