I don't believe that ct was ever modified to work with the dialinfo stuff
that cu and uucico use.  That means that it only knows how to dial a Ven-
Tel MD212 or something like that.

To do this you would probably need to wrap uucico in a script which sets the
TZ variable.  The TZ variable is normally set in /etc/profile.  

Also, the 2.4 version of System V/AT will include the BNU UUCP system, for
all of you who are interested.
