- It needs to be made into it's own package too.

	Sounds good.

- Yup, net/taylor-uucp and net/uucpd (eventually)

	Excellent.

	Well, it interacts well with the NetBSD 1.4 uucp,
largely because it _is_ the NetBSD uucp.  Otherwise, the check
as done for Solaris seem like the right idea.

	I have noticed that it is dropping core with some of my
TCP sessions.   The same is true of the `stock' uucico as well,
so it's not a new problem. 

	As I recall, the problem was discussed on the taylor-ucup
mailing earlier this year, and a patch might have been provided.
The list archives are at http://lists.cirr.com/taylor-uucp.

	I'm going to verify the defect, and then probably submit
a PR with the fix...

	Enjoy,
		Eric
