Is any one aware of problems naming uucp hostname with plus (+) signs in them?
I have uucp setup between two sites which seems to cause the modems to become 
non responsive if the uucp login contains a plus sign eg hqtrs+a. It is fine 
if I describe it as hqtrs-a. Also if this is a problem it aint mentioned in TFM
anywhere. Is it causing the modem to trip out because its is waiting for further
pluses (namely three +++). I'm using Trailblaizers.
