uucico and autodial modems

[Dan Messinger]

I have two questions about uucico.

1)  I was running strings on uucico and noticed that it had a reference to
    a file called "/usr/lib/uucp/L.sys.cr".  What, if any, is the difference
    between this file and L.sys?  I tried renaming my L.sys to L.sys.cr and
    everything seemed to work the same.

2)  As far as I know, uucico only knows how to dial Bell 801 type dialers.
    I have been putting my modem's dialing sequence into the L.sys login
    string.  The only disadvantage to this is that I can't have uucico
    pick an available line to use -- the L.sys entry looks like a hardwire
    line.  Question:  Is there a way to train uucico how to use my modem's
    dialer so I can use ACU type entries in my L.sys and have uucico find
    an available line, or is there a way to not use ACU but still have
    uucico search for an available line. (We don't have source, or I would
    have found the means or patched this in myself already)
