] No, they don't. That's the whole problem. Your machine, lakart, is not in
] their L.sys file. That they sometimes hang up on you before printing the "You
] are unknown to me" message is probably an artifact of their tty interface, or
] the debugging level of your uucico. 

I must beg to differ, for two reasons.

1. They call _US_ and get through (about 15% of the time). Now as far as I
know, most Un*x systems won't call someone else that doesn't have a line
in their L.sys

2. I called from my machine pallio at home, who is most definitely not in
their L.sys, and it gets the ^PRyou are unknown to me^@ _EVERY_ _TIME_
