A couple of facts about (HDB) uucp...

[Augustine Cano]

Has anybody noticed...

that when uucico is running the console beep (^G) becomes very loud and
distorted?

that HDB uucp doesn't care if the terminal emulator is running?  When
it's time to make a call, you will rudely be disconnected from your
async_main session without warning.  Uucp will then proceed with its
file transfer, leaving you with a message that says something like:
"session disconnected, presss enter to continue"...
