The only catch is, I do uucp across my PPP link. If the link is up, the connection to the the uucp site is done. If the PPP link is done, it does a standard UUCP/modem call to do its work... I don't know if this will work for you. My primary mail transport is across UUCP. This means your UUCP system has to be configured for TCP. Then you have to configure your UUCP 'sys' file to try TCP first then if that fails, try UUCP/modem/dialup.... If you need examples, let me know....
