While you're at it, I recommend the following change in pk1.c:

  #define GETRIES 10      /* 5 in 4.1bsd -- d yost */

I watched uucico give up after 5 retries many, many times.
This got old, so I increased it to 10, and on the very next
connection I saw it pick up the conversation again after about
9 retries.
