Uutry is just a shell script.  Copy it to your private bin directory and
edit it to your hearts content.  Or if you use Bourne of Korn shells set
up a shell function that has as its innards most of Uutry (if you want
to get fancy) or try this one.

poll()
{
rm -f /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/$i
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -s$1 &
}
