Hello, 

Since people have been posting things about uucp lately, here's my 
problem.  I'm new to this uucp thing, so if this is a stupid error,
one that everyone gets, well I'm sorry for not knowing, but I need help
anyway.

This is what happens:  I try to poll tbaas, but I get a Handshake error.
Any ideas?  Here's my LOGFILE

tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:44:25) (C,4188,0) C.tbaas (bldfl)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:44:55) (C,4188,0) OK (DIAL ph0 P**phone # deleted** 23)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:03) (C,4188,0) SUCCEEDED (call to tbaas )
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:05) (C,4188,0) Shere=tbaas (HERE)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:10) (C,4188,0) harrie (send Myname)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:14) (C,4188,0) HANDSHAKE FAILED (^M^M)

I'm also trying to feed another computer where I work.  It is running
BNU, though (at least that's what they call it.  Looks like HDB to me)
It's an IBM rt running AIX.  When I try to poll my machine with it, it will
log in correctly, but after getting a "Valid Shere=harrie" I get an error,
(you guessed it) Handshake failed.

What is going wrong, and what can I do to correct it?  Thanks in advance!!
(you guys know everything about how to fix my machine)
