we've had a uucp link for a couple of years between a xenix 286 (2.1)
machine running old-fashioned system V uucp (my side), and a Sun3
running version 3.? of SunOS (their side).  Worked just fine.

Recently, the Sun was upgraded to a more recent version of
SunOS (? 4.0.1) which apparently replaces the uucp
implementation with the HoneyDanBer suite.

Guess what... can't connect any more.  The xenix machine can
log in to the sun, (I get a "SUCCEEDED" msg in the log), but i
then get a "HANDSHAKE FAILED" message and the session fails.

According to the sysadmin on the other end, the account is set
up correctly, and other machines are logging in using similar
accounts.

i haven't had a chance to sit down at the xenix machine (i'm not
usually at the site where its at) and run a uucico session with
debug turned up high...

before i do that, can anyone tell me if i'll be wasting my time?

the usual drooling thanks in advance...
