Grrr. I wish B/C News prevented this particular species of rudeness.

Yes, in /usr/lib/uucp/Systems you say

uunet Any/C,Any1900-0700 ACU 9600 17038765055 ogin: XXX ssword: XXX

This tells UUCICO that this entry is only available for grade C or better
during the hours 7AM-7PM.  Tailor the hours as you like.

This is not specific to AT&T, the 386 or 3.2.1.  The whole thing is
documented in O'Reilly and Associates' Nutshell handbook MANAGING UUCP
AND USENET.  Write ora!nuts for more information.  Serious UUCP users
should have this book.  I believe UUNET has a discount arrangement?
