It isn't, as far as I know... I found though that the best idea was to
dump the HDB config files and use the Taylor config files instead. For one
reason or another this got better results for me. You could use uuconv
to create basic Taylor configs then place them in /usr/conf/uucp (the files
concerned should be port, dial and sys), then create a file called 'config'
which contains the line
nodename <name of node>

I find that this mostly just depends on how much else is going on at the time.
On my machine it takes about 30 seconds or so when it is being quick, but
then my machine is a little underpowered.

Not that I know of. Although you could try changing the -s to -S. That
*might* help, but I don't know if uucico creates a .LCK file everytime
it starts up or only when it actually does a dialout...
