This is a plea for HELP!  For the past few weeks decvax has been
having a uucp related problem.  It seems that some system has
been trying to call us and login as uucp but is not able to,
yet they stay on the line for hours and hours trying!  We get
BADDIALUP messages on the console with names such as:

	uucp
	atdt6275
	atdt1201
	t6275563
	_4.1_VAX

and similar things.  The first three things repeat a lot.  Our
line was tied up for 12 hours yesterday with this stuff!

If this means anything to anybody, please let me know!!!  I would
appreciate it if all uucp sites that are able to call us would
check their log files and such to see if they can find the problem.
As a last resort we may have to have the phone company trace the call.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me!
