There's normally a front-end called Uutry that hides the ugly handling
of uucico from the user.  Unfortunately, Taylor misses it (and mine is
stolen from Data General. :) It starts uucico, and tail -f's the log
file, so you can watch what's happening.

``run-uuxqt 2'' (or 3) is a better solution (IMHO).

Sendmail is both.  But even for its use as ``sendmail -bd'', it would
clearly belong to /usr/sbin.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
