I wonder if anyone else has made this discovery regarding the uucico which
is included in Xenix 3.x? While I was trying to write a "non-standard" L.sys
entry, I discovered that (1.) Attempts to use the hyphen to separate
expect/send pairs are ignored. (2.) Attempts to use backslash to send
non-printing characters are ignored.

I needed to send 5 returns to wake up my remote system, so I wrote:
  test Any tty02 9600 tty02 "" \r\r\r\r\r name: uucp
and when uucico was invoked (uucico -r1 -stest), my terminal displayed:
  \r\r\r\r\r

Ah yes. The -x debug option is also non-functional.

Comments please!
