But do you need to use a serial port for uucp if you are not using a serial modem, which I take it very few people on this list would be doing? Do people normally use serial ports today? Even if you are using a serial modem, I'm not entirely clear why you need to have access to ttyS? In my case, at least, uucp runs as a cron job and conveys my email to /var/spool/mail/<whoever>.
