Hello,

I have a couple of problems that have come up since I have started running
SLIP at home.  I am connecting from my home machine (NeXTstation Color
running 3.0) to a SLIP capable terminal server using TransSys Dial-Up IP
Software - version 920904 on my NeXT.  Things like telnet, rlogin, finger,
talk, etc. work just fine.  First problem, when I log into another NeXT
and try to -NXHost to my home machine I see the modem lights flash a few
times and then get the message:

DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host home

for no apparent reason ( i have public windower server set).  Second
problem, I had a uucp link set up that worked just fine via a modem.  
Having SLIP, I decided to switch the uucp link to TCP.  When I issue the
command uucico -r1 -x9 -sacus1 I get the messages:

finds (acus1) called
getto: call no. acus1.cc.uky.edu for sys acus1
Using TCP to call
bsdtcpopn host acus1.cc.uky.edu, port 540
TCP CLOSE called
closed fd 5
tcpopen failed: errno 61
root acus1 (12/30-23:05-287) FAILED (Connection refused)
root acus1 (12/30-23:05-287) FAILED (call to acus1 )

Noticing errno 61 I tried to telnet straight to port 540 and sure enough
my connection was refused...I checked and I can telnet to port 540 on
most other Unix machines but anytime I go to a NeXT the connection is 
refused.

Any information on how to "fix" these two problems would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
