Need help with external modem & UUCP

[Rex Fowler]

unix-pc gurus,

I have been trying to hook up an external modem to break the 1200 baud
barrier of the internal modem for my UUCP connection.  

I can get it to work fine with kermit, but when I try
% uucico -r1 -x9 -sSYSTEMNAME
I can't get past the first expect-send sequence. 

I could give more details about my particular system, hdb, 3.51 OS, etc
but I think this is probably something someone has seen before and
not specific to how I have my Devices and Systems set up.  Besides, I
think I've tried every possible combination with these files.

I've read some recent articles, etc. but none of them have talked 
specifically about this "lost line" error.  Below is part of the
error log from uucico.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I was really surprised this
wasn't in the FAQ list.  Maybe it isn't as common as i suspect.

email and I'll summarize...
