The way I read the problem description, it wasn't clear whether the babble
was during the login sequence (the initial herald) or after login when
uucico is getting going (Uwe's speculation).  If it is the latter, there's
one long shot:  On BSDish systems, and some others, you can shut off most
of the post-login babble by putting a file named ".hushlogin" in the home
directory.  That would be something you'd have to request of the remote
site.
