Discussion with DEC CSC reveals that uucico doesn't work on the MMJ port
serial (/dev/ttyd1), at least not with the "g" protocol that I must use. It
is possible that the "f" protocol would work.

DEC CSC has sent this to engineering for further review. The DB-25 serial
port (/dev/ttyd0) works with "g" as expected.

I have a new problem now - I'm getting "You are unknown to me" in response to
the login and shere from my "remote" host to the OSF system. I've configured
uucp sites (SunOS) in the past, and DEC CSC and I have gone over the
Permissions, Systems, and other files, but we seem to be at an impasse. If
anyone has a sec and the inclination, drop me a note and I'll pass on the
longish and boring details.

All my opinions. Just say no to Clipper.
