Gosh Hal, this sure sounds strange..  I'm not a bit familiar with any
of the Sun systems, but one thing popped into my mind when I read
this -- could the problem be with using the same port for inbound and
outbound traffic?  I'm not sure if the Sun has something like "uugetty"
for bi-directional uucp connections..  I've seen real strange things
happen on 3B type machines prior to HDB that had a "getty" running on
an "out-bound" port...
