It looks like you're calling sereneslow in slave mode.  I think your problems
will go away in you put UUCICO into master mode.  Try doing a:

uucico -r1 -ssereneslow

If you're using a V.32 modem (or slower), and your DTE <-> DCE speed is 9600
baud or higher, make sure your modem is set up for hardware (RTS/CTS ) flow
control, and use this line to call up sereneslow:

uucico -r1 -ssereneslow -7

Yes.  "Shere" means "system here", I think.  It's just serene identifying
itself.

looks ok to me.


BTW, I'm running AmigaUUCP 1.06d on my A500 w/ Telebit T2500 in PEP mode
with a DTE <-> DCE speed of 19.2Kbaud.  It's always worked for me.  

C'ya,
