Just put the modem dialing commands in the send/expect sequence in the
L.sys entry.  I'm running 1.36 and it works fine with a USR 2400.
It works for dialout on an Avatex 1200 (cheap!), but not for dialin
because there is no way to disable the status messages coming in from
the modem (which confuses getty and login!).

It's nice but not necessary to have UUCP know how to talk to a particular
modem, and have the phone number(s) in a separate file.
