If you want to be able to use both, you have to use the default lowest
in L.sys, and if you make sure that the devices file shows that the port
attached to the 2400 can handle both 1200-2400, then UUCP will try both
ports at 1200. There is still only ONE L.sys entry per system, and it leaves
it up to UUCP to find the correct line.
If there is another way, I would like to know also.
