Very strange.  Hope someone else in the group can help.

I know this is no consolation to the frustration with this kind of problem, 
but I use taylor (1.06 with taylor configs) to run uucp through our netblazer 
so it has to login to the netblazer as a normal user and then telnet to the 
AIX box and login there as a uucp user, and it works fine, so I am pretty sure 
that it should not be a problem with the package.

Any chance the 10 seconds it times out in is not long enough?
