I'm in the position of having to get UUCP running between a pair of HP9000/300
series machines running HP-UX 6.5 (I know, I know, but there *are* reasons).
Thus far, I can get the autodialer on the primary (HP9000/345) to call the
other machine.  The handshake *looks* okay, but then I'm not familiar with
HDB.  Then, *no data is transferred*!.  uucheck on both systems looks good
(in fact, I've erred on the side of laxity in security, until I get things
working)...  It's driving me buggy, because nothing I try seems to work.
To be honest, I found the old BSD4.2 UUCP easier to figure out...

From uucico (at level 9) I get:
-----------------------
	expect: (word:)
	 uucp^M^JPassword:got it
	Login Successful: System=bmerr22
	msg-ROK

My logs simply report:

-----------------------

The only thing that looks at all interesting is:
	return from callcheck: FALSE
in the destination machine's .Audit file.
Any help would be *GREATLY* appreciated.

	Thanks for your time...
