Setting up a UUCP connection > http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/smm/01.setup/paper-4.html Here are a couple of tiny patches to make this more explicit in the the cu(1) and remote(5) man pages. There really should be an example of using cu with the acu setting to dial a Hayes-compatible modem in the cu man page, but so far I haven't managed to make that work. Feedback and examples welcome. Once this is more complete, I'll submit a PR.
