Summary: check USERFILE

[Problem with remote system rejecting uucp connection]

He probably needs to put your system name in his USERFILE.  This file
ordinarily lives in /usr/lib/uucp.  Berkeley uucp allows a "catch-all"
entry, named "remote", which you would ordinarily point to some innocuous
directory like /usr/spool/uucppublic.  But AT&T uucp doesn't support
this feature, which means you have to put an entry in your USERFILE
for every site you talk to.
