Dialcodes not working in SCO Xenix 2.3.x

While recently trying to use the Dialcodes part of UUCP on SCO Xenix, I
found that it doesn't work if you are using the SCO supplied dialers. 
Upon examining the sources I saw that there is no provision in them for
the dial codes.  It appears that when SCO decided to use their dialers
instead of the normal HDB they didn't implement the dialcodes source.

Upon examining a 2.2.3 system I saw that the dialers supplied there also
didn't have the necessary code.  I tried this using different dialers on
both systems.  I have included below the Systems entry, the Dialcodes
entry, and the results of the dial attempt.  SCO, any comments?
