This happened to me and only when sending from a 3b2/400 to a 3b2/310.

A call to the AT&T hotline got a fix(?) which was to change the line
in /usr/lib/uucp/Systems with the characters preceding the ogin:
being \d\r\d\r.

I haven't the slightest idea why that worked, but it appeared to fix
things.  I've only seen that error message once since then.  Incidentally,
I only got the thing when sending relatively large files.  

I don't think that it is actually a checksum error as someone mentioned
before, since it kept occurring at the same place during the file
transfer.

Also found that if you forget to clear out /usr/mail/uucp periodically,
logins fail because uucp cannot write to the file.
