There are several "hidden" changes to uucico that Ian made.  Try using "-f"
to force the uucico to fire up.  It's probably blowing up because (1) you
don't have the Devices file set up right, (2) the permissions on your serial
device are wrong, or (3) there are still lock files in /usr/spool/uucp.

"This is the final task I will ever give you, and it  goes  on  forever.   Act
happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love,
and do what you will."           -- Dan Millman, "Way Of The Peaceful Warrior"
