You didn't tell us what machine, or which OS variety
you are using. If you are using a "standard" AT&T UNIX
OS -or- a "standard" Sun OS, then getty may, or may not
work real well.
If you're using a Linux variety on an Intel based
machine, then, PLEASE use uugetty. You might want
to consider using uugetty on any UNIX OS, as it
seems to work "better".
uucico is a pretty much standard piece of software
that has been pounded and refined for years, and,
IMHO, probably doesn't need to be reworked.
BTW, most people using uucp use the HDB variety,
even with Linux.
Yours,
