I'm trying to call a distant site via using uucp via a good V.21bis/
MNP Class 5 modem. I can log in to the remote system by connecting
the modem directly to a terminal and using hayes AT commands directly.
It takes about 50 seconds between I hit return after the dial command
until I get the login prompt from the other system.

However, when I try to do the same thing using uucp (we're using HDB
uucp in SVR3.1), uucico seems to time out before the other modem
answers the call. The Dialers file is set up to send *exactly* the
same commands to the modem as when I'm using the modem manually.
Is there a way to increase the timeout in uucico (and cu -- it
doesn't work either)?

Any suggestions are welcome via e-mail, please.
