I'm working on a system of a friend of mine who has been having problems
with his UUCP connection.  He can get mail and news articles out to his
feed, but the minute uucico turns around and tries reading stuff back
from it, it fails.  We've tried switching modems, clearing the batch on the
feed site, different cables, most everything, and we still can't figure out
what is going on (mostly because of the obscure error messages uucico 
displays).

As near as I can tell (and I'm not a UUCP guru), we are sending a 'H' (hangup)
command to the remote system, they are responding with an 'HN' (don't hangup
because we've got something for you), we then switch into slave mode, and
then weird things start happening.

Any help in solving this would be appreciated.

Here's the relavent output from a 'uucico -r1 -s<site> -x7' command:
