	I'm glad I'm not the only one with problems with uucp.  A month and a
	half ago I was able to both be called by and to call the site that 
	gives me my mail via uucp.  Then, one day, I was no longer able to
	poll them successfully.  They still poll me regularly, without
	problem, but my attempts time out after login.  As far as I can tell,
	all my necessary files are intact, and so are theirs.  I ran uucico
	with -x20 and found that after successfully logging in, it stops at
	the line:

	imsg looking for SYNC<

	at which point it says login failed and then shows:

	login:

	again!  This is after already getting the msg that the login was
	successful!  This is really baffling me because I cannot find any
	documentation about the gritty details of how this stuff happens.
	Do any uucp gurus out there recognize this?

	Thanks a million.
