How about a different approch - always use UUCP, but setup UUCP to fallback to
a TCP transport? I've got mine setup to try dialing out with a normal phone
call, then if that fails, try a TCP connection to my UUCP gateway. That way if
my auto-dial PPP has the line, I still get out. The mail stays queued in the
same place regardless of the state of the modem and everything seems to get
thru. The only thing it does require is that you have TCP access to your
UUCP gateway system (which I do).
If you want my UUCP config files, let me know & I'll forward them.
