As promised, here is a patch for DECUS UUCP that fixes the
spurious termination of the protocol handshake.

Attached is a SLP file for the version of CALL.C that shipped
with DECUS UUCP V1.1 that implements this fix.  It has been tested
against UUPC and the UUCP running on uunet.

Use it in good health.
