Summary: Help!  UUPC wants "ROK", not "RLOGIN", so it closes the connection.

I am running a modified UUPC under MS-DOS, which has been working quite well
in communications with a nearby VAX.  However, I'm having troubles trying to
set up a second link with a XENIX system in town.  When I check the debug
output of uuio (the uucico equivalent), I find this:

          VAX (Ultrix)	          XENIX System (SCO SysV)
    [dialing chant deleted]
        1st msg: Shere          1st msg: Shere= [deleted]
        2nd msg: ROK            2nd msg: RLOGIN
    [remainder deleted]

When my software sees the "RLOGIN" message, it closes the connection.  In
fact, it closes the connection on anything but "xOK", where the first
character is ignored.  What does "RLOGIN" mean, and what response is the
XENIX system expecting?  (I'll go change UUPC again...)

I appreciate any help you can offer.  E-mail is probably good for responses;
I doubt that the majority of the net is interested in this problem.
