Stereo Modems - slightly garbled

This is mostly a curiousity.
In order to get a remote job finished, I plugged a 2nd Telebit modem in my 386.It works peachy.
However, if I send a piece of mail to a big distribution list, all hell breaks
loose. At least 8 uucico fire up, each for a different site, and they all
attack the two modems. So the poor things go off hook, then hang up and again
and again. After a few minutes the fighting dies down and uucico's all go away,
leaving the modems quivering in the corner.
Any ideas? Maybe a race condition on the lock files? SCO never thought of
two modems? I never had any such excitement with one modem, even using the
same mail list.
