I'm trying to get UUCP on the Cube to call the WELL in Sausilito, CA.  Things
are not as rosy as I'd like.  I get the following chatter in debug mode while
trying to send a single mail message to dhawk!well by running uucico after 
sending the mail message (from the NeXT Mail.app).

...After that, I killed the uucico job after waiting over ten minutes and watching the alarm counter continue to rise by 3001 each time.  What is
this ``pkcget: alarm'' message trying to tell me?

My system is a 12Mb cube with an original TELEBIT Trailblazer connected
to the B serial port with a cable provided by DataViz for their MacLink-
Plus product.  It seems to do hardware handshake, but I could be mistaken.
I've set the modem's DTR to hang up (S52=1) and it does work correctly.

The problem seems to have something to do with the file transfer part of 
the call.  The ``S D.deltosB0002'' command results in the file being sent
but the WELL doesn't seem to respond that it received the file.  Could 
this be a protocol problem?  My hostname is correct, I'm logging into the
right UUCP account on the WELL.  This uucicp command was run from root,
which I don't think is a problem.
