I think we Unix system administrators have been doing this for so long,
that we forgot that it's not "UUCP" that requires a login and a password.
Just run uucico (or its equivalent) on the modem's port, instead of running
a getty->login->uucico.

Where is GNUUUCP?  I tried to find it a few months ago, but could locate no
trace of it.
