] User complains that uucico hangs and won't die even after a kill

Just a guess but this often happens when a process gets caught in
an open on a line with no DTR/CD or some such.

Try the following to verify: send it a kill and then unplug the
line and plug in a Null modem which has DTR jumpered (or maybe
just dial the modem from a plain terminal.)
See if it doesn't instantly upon connect act as if the kill
was heard.

General fix, I dunno, could try wrapping the open with a
alarm() but even that might not get through.

Behavior like this can also occur if the line is ^S'd.

No combination of stty > /dev/ttyxx will work because it will hang
when the shell tries to open.

P.S. It is also possible you have hardware problems but not likely.
