Still, it shouldn't hurt to try. The TCM chapter in the manual has
several hints that it may work, but I'm guessing it depends on the type
of protection used.

Yes, although these days it's UUCP over TCP over ADSL. I don't think
either of my upstreams have modems for dial-in UUCP any more.

There was some talk here (or on the old classiccmp list) a while back

anything.
