I'll be happy if one or the other of these problems can be resolved!

1> We are experiencing a rather frustrating problem with uucico on 
a Wicat 160 running Uniplus Sytem V.2. I am trying to set up news
on this system, but when other systems call up, uucico occasionally
hangs the port so that the machine must be rebooted. Even  a "kill -9
<pid>" has no effect. (Incidentally, user terminals hang periodically
as well, especially when the line is accidentally disconnected then
reconnected to the terminal).

2> Ok, so if they can't call me, I'll call out. Wrong! Because we must
use our two phone lines at night, we needed a way to drop getty on the
phone line ports some time late at night. Customer support at Wicat suggested
writing a cron task that would edit /etc/inittab then do a telinit q. 
For some strange reason unknown to me, I get (NO DEVICE) listed in the
uucp accounting files when the port is supposed to be free.
Can anyone help me? Send to the path below, and I'll summarize.
