This doesn't work, for the reasons Karl gave. (We weren't terribly worried
about it in OSx 4.4, since we didn't support HoneyDanBer TCP/IP connections.
In OSx 5.0 we do, so uucpd checks universes.) The best solution, I think, is
to use the telnet socket, instead of uucpd. This is the way "real" SVR3
UUCPs work, anyway.
