following up on the obvious suggestion that we just "try it out", we
(the UUCP admin and i) tried this out today (Thursday):
	Sa1000-1800Th
and promptly were told (in LOGFILE) "WRONG TIME TO CALL".  one suggestion
coming in was to separate with "|" (evidently supported at some sites).
so, we tried:
	Sa1000-1800|Th
no dice!  well, we'll keep trying and hoping for suggestions from netland.
assuming its possible, is the trick the order of days of the week?  if so,
what order?

i failed to mention originally:  this is for System V R2 on a VAX.  thx.
