[ont.uucp] decvax outage continues

The ETA for the end of the current problem is unknown.  My various
messages to Armando, including at least one specifically asking for
a reply via hcr or watmath to avoid the blockage, have gone unanswered
so far;  I fear he may be on vacation.  An attempt to get started on
the backlog by jacking uucp's patience up to roughly infinity (2.5
minutes per timeout) failed last night, so it looks like there is no
escape that way.  My latest message to Armando asks him to put our
spooled traffic on tape if possible, so we can get the stuff somehow;
I don't know whether this will prove practical.  Our outgoing traffic
to decvax *is* getting through.
