Hartford, CT Lines: 46 I'm trying to connect to another site via uucp. The other site can call me and connect fine -- all files transfer OK, but I can't seem to make connection with him. The dial goes OK, login goes OK, but uucp startup gives a protocol error with him logging an error saying that site pwa-b is not vaild for connection or something to that effect. Since he sends me a reject in the protocol (a capital R), the connection goes away. Obviously he needs to put my machine name in a file somewhere. He's a novice and I'm not familiar with his version of uucp and he's an hour drive away. The specifics: my system: VAX 11/780, Berleley 4.2, standard Berkeley uucp his sys: AT&T 3B1 (UNIX-PC #7300) Version 3.0 of the OS. Standard uucp on that system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- -->BoB Miorelli, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft also, H & R Block tax preparer and Instructor pwa-b!miorelli
