- No, but you could write shell-script wrappers for "uucp" that would
- rsh the real uucp on the system where the modem lives. Several years
- ago, a script was published in UNIX WORLD magazine (written by
- yours truly) that did this sort of thing. YOu can find the
- "Wizard's Grabbag" archive at ftp.uu.net in /published/unix-world.
