	/etc/uucp is odd, but I'll try it.  I suppose it makes sense.

	As far as I know, the uucp included is Taylor... if for no
other reason than 'uucp --version' responds as expected.

	I've also been tinkering with HylaFax... which I assume has
some form of 'uugetty' included.  I've also got a 16 port serial card
for my sparc --- so I'm going to be writing my own driver (with an eye
to making it work well with uucp and ppp).  I was figuring that I'd be
making the two-device style driver (one in, one out), but maybe not...
