How about a different approch - always use UUCP, but setup UUCP to fallback to a TCP transport? I've got mine setup to try dialing out with a normal phone call, then if that fails, try a TCP connection to my UUCP gateway. That way if my auto-dial PPP has the line, I still get out. The mail stays queued in the same place regardless of the state of the modem and everything seems to get thru. The only thing it does require is that you have TCP access to your UUCP gateway system (which I do). If you want my UUCP config files, let me know & I'll forward them.
