[plug] uucp polling question

To anyone,
Polling of sites via uucp is usually accomplished via
a script that is invoked by cron. This is not my problem.
My problem arrises in that the scripts supplied with the
system will only poll using one list at a time ie
it will make a list of sites requiring to be polled and
then tries to contact them. It will call up using different
modems but what I need is to parallel process ie to use
more then one modem at a time.
Is there a standard version of the polling scripts for this?
I just don't want to have to reinvent the wheel when I am
sure there are thousands of sites out there doing this now.

Thanks in advance for any pointers to scripts.
