It's a sort of known problem, with a sort of known fix.  You need to up
your time out limit, which is a fix that came from the folks up in
Vancouver who wrote it.   Lemme see... TIMEOUT (I think ... I changed it
because it conflicted with another global) in DCP Packet.c is raised to
15 in my version.

Speaking of "my version", the bored or adventurous among you may wish
to retrieve it via anonymous FTP from clutx.clarkson.edu, it is in
uucpusr.zip in the pub sub-directory.  Please send me mail if you do, so
I know who has it.  It includes mail aliases, multiple mail servers, and
2 pages of bug fixes (many of which I caused).  This is a binaries only
zip file, if you need source ask me.

What is the post 1.0 interim version?

Does anyone know the address for van-bc.uucp?  I tried the address I had
for them and it didn't work.  I want to ship my code back to them so
they can accept it or reject it as they please and I'm not maintaining
1000 lines of C code attached to someone else's 5000 lines of C code.
