When you were a UUCP site, did you have different logins for each neighbor,
or the same login for all neighbors?  If the latter, you're screwed.  If
the former, you can watch for a "login <name>" process to be exec'd by
getty when the machine tries to get in.  The login process will last until
uucico (or login) times out.

I suppose you could try calling all your old neighbors, if you can remember
them, to find out if you're still in their Systems file.
