I don't think so.  I don't even use cron for uucp.  If you write outgoing
mail, uucp should exec uucico immediately as long as the relevant site in
Systems has an ok range of call times.  In this regard SCO is just like all
others.  

In fact, other than the optional Dialers programs, SCO uucp IS exactly like
normal Sys V HDB uucp to the casual observer.

Why don't you try a uutry -r "whatever" and see what really happens when
you do outgoing uucp?
