I had a very similar problem when trying to call an SCO Unix machine
from a DECstation 3100.  It turned out to be the number of stop bits
and character length  (look in /etc/gettydefs).  I fixed it by adding a
P_ZERO to the send string.  i.e.

silver Any ACU 2400 5551212 "" P_ZERO ogin:-@-ogin:-BREAK-ogin: nuucp word:

Hope it helps.
