Every (or almost every) file in /etc/uucp says that it (the file) has to
be modified and then put into the misterious /usr/local/conf/uucp...
(It is called a default place for uucp-configuration files, although
leaves a hint, that the place could've been modified).

Well, sys and conf files are read from where they are -- /etc/uucp .
No other files are accessed by uucico (according to `ls -lu'). 

They are not read from /usr/local/conf/uucp, according to the same source.

BTW, if someone will give me their /etc/uucp files, which let his machine,
retrieve mail from another box OVER the Internet (without phone call), I'll
be more then gratefull. Thanks!
