<>'adaptex' will answer at 9600 baud, but will cycle down to 2400 and then 1200

<uucp adaptex!/usr/spool/uucppublic/scsiutil/list /usr/spool/uucppublic/list
The '~' will not expand the way it is written in the above uucp command. It
looks like it should be:
uucp adaptex!~uucp/scsiutil/list ~uucp (use \! for csh command line)
Depending on the system, the uucp may be nuucp. You must remember that the
'~' needs a name of the user in the password file, before it can be expanded.
The idea of the '~' without anything is for when a user is logged into a system
and the '~' then gets expanded to the user's home, ie, ~/.login will find the
user's .login file.
Hope this helps a little bit.
