The other thing you should verify is that eyrie has your login set up to run
uucico rather than a shell.  This is the most likely candidate -- especially
if you're using the same login name as you used interactively.  If your debug
output shows eryie giving your a shell prompt, tell eyrie's sysop that you need
to have a uucp connection.  Or, as part of your login script, after you send
the password, wait for the shell prompt and, in response, run uucico yourself:

    eyrie Any ACU <number> "" \r ame: <username> word: <password>
        $ /usr/lib/uucp/uucico

(shown on two lines for clarity).  Be forewarned: it doesn't work on all
systems.
