Discussion with DEC CSC reveals that uucico doesn't work on the MMJ port
serial (/dev/ttyd1), at least not with the "g" protocol that I must use. It
is possible that the "f" protocol would work.

DEC CSC has sent this to engineering for further review. The DB-25 serial
port (/dev/ttyd0) works with "g" as expected.
