First, if you send mail to uunet!postmaster and don't get a timely
response, send another message to uunet!postman and ask what happened
to your mail or why your haven't gotten a response back.  Our manager
can then grab me (or whoever is handling your message) by the ear and
make sure the problem gets resolved or at least acknowledged.

I haven't been great at giving immediate responses to everyone, and I
apologize, but I am working on improving my e-mail track record.

To be more specific, he saw:

  ^J^M^JUUNET Communications Services (uunet)^M^J^M^M^J^M
  uucp2 login:got it
  sendthem (gimlet^M)
  expect: (word:)

  enough already

Does anyone else see that on a regular basis?

I couldn't get any information on our side.  I see now that this kind
of problem can't be tracked on our end (getty doesn't log anything).

If anyone else sees this problem, please send mail to uunet!postmaster.

Yes -- I had problems at one time connecting to a multiprocessor Arix machine
that displayed the same symptoms.  I ended up counting and using the third
login in the chat script -- and then the problem was no longer an issue.
