The problem is a bug in the uucico that comes with 3.51 ("Communications
Patch") whereby incoming calls to the On-Board Modem are not forced to
disconnect.  Eventually, the calling system times out and the line is
released.  This problem doesn't occur on serial ports.

I complained about this back in October, and in December AT&T downloaded me
a new version that fixes this problem.  The only bug I've found in this new
uucico is there is no way to turn on the modem's speaker.

Prior postings seem to indicate it is OK to redistribute this fix.  It is
sitting in ~/uucico.exec.Z  on denwa, (213)479-2422.
