I am experiencing difficulty getting UUCP working over TCP/IP.

I am attempting to connect to a remote host which is running Taylor UUCP.
I am using the standard SCO UUCICO (and have also tried v1.04 of Taylor UUCICO
with the same results.)

Basically, what appears to be happening is as follows:

I connect to the remote system fine, but for some reason my system thinks
the file the remote system is sending to me is 1+ gigabytes in size. Naturally,
its not. Its actually a 3k piece of test e-mail.

I have included a sample UUCICO debugging session for review. Anyone have
any ideas?
