Got a quick (I hope) question.  Please E-mail me your answers.
If there is enough interest I will post the results.

My connection to uunet is via tymnet.  The first part of the
line in my L.sys file has the following:

uunet Wk1930-0630

My problem is that last month I got charged for 3 hours of
connect time during prime time which starts at either 7:30 or
8:00.  (i.e. my connection ran way past 6:30 A.M.) This doubled
my bill for connect charges!

I'm running 4.3 BSD on VAX/750 from looking at my log it appears
that uucico does not disconnet when the time goes past 6:30.
What should be done to make sure that the uunet connection is
disconnect shortly after the 6:30 deadline?
