fio.c was posted to comp.sources.unix.  If anyone figures out 'e' or
'x' I'd love to hear about it. (I thought I had heard that 'x' had
been "deprecated" after SVR2).  Since 't' is a BSDism, I keep hoping
the source will surface.

Sounds like we're all working on the same thing, no?

Here are the headers from the comp.sources.unix posting.  I scooped
this from Purdue, but I'm sure UUNET has it as well.

   [  A Makefile and manpage wouldn't be sensible for this posting.
      I haven't tested this code; heck, it usually takes strong medicine
      to get me to even _look_ at UUCP code.  Still and all, this may
      be useful, given the recent increase in net interest in writing
      a public-domain UUCP.  --r$  ]

   I mentioned on the net that I had written a PAD dialer for UUCP, and
   I've had a fair number of requests for it.  I spoke to Rick Adams about
   it, and he said that I can post it along with the "f" protocol source
   itself.
