Good to hear.
Since you're writing the word ``cu'' above: dump the old cu, and use
the Taylor version. It has been an accident in 2.0R that the Taylor
version hasn't been the default. (When in doubt, recompile the stuff
under /usr/src/gnu/uucp, `cu' can also be found there.)
Taylor cu uses the Taylor uucp configuration, which not only i think
is much more rational than that /etc/remote cruft.
Any further FreeBSD will come with taylor cu being the default.
