uucp uses a backoff scheme to avoid immediately retrying calls to
systems that won't cooperate (e.g., modem dead, phone busy, etc.).
you're running honey danber, so it's an exponential backoff.
uustat -q tells you when another attempt can be made.
to subvert this mechanism, delete or truncate
/usr/spool/uucp/.Status/<hostname>.
it can be argued that uucp should ignore the status file when debug
mode is on -- here, i do so if debug level is 5 or more.
