I have a problem setting up some chat scripts.  Several hosts that
I have been attempting to setup connections with are not responding
to the script in a manner that I understand.

First of all, here is an example Systems entry:

hostA Any ACU 2400 hostA "" "" login:--login:--login: mylogin ssword: mypw

If I run uucico in debug mode, I get:
expect: ("")
got it
""
sendthem (^M)
expect: (login:)
 2400^G^J^M^J^MNO ERROR CONTROL^J^M^Mtimed out
sendthem (^M)
expect: (login:)
^M^B`'^Sj77e'a~^J^M ^H^J^MIDLE^J^Mlost line errno - 0
sendthem (^M)
expect: (login:)
lost line errno - 0

Note that there is no login: prompt displayed after sending two CR.
If I use cu to call and hand type the CR, login name and password, it
all works fine.

Now if I modify the chat script to use odd parity, e.g.:

hostA Any ACU 2400 hostA "" P_ODD "" "" login:--login:--login: mylogin ssword: mypw

expect: ("")
got it
expect: ("")
got it
""
sendthem (^M)
expect: (login:)
 2400^G^J^M^J^MNO ERROR CONTROL^J^M^M^M^J^J^I^M^J^JhostA!login:got it
sendthem (mylogin^M)
expect: (ssword:)
 mylogin^M^JPassword:got it
sendthem (mypw^M)
imsg >^M^JLogin incorrect^M^Jlogin: 

Does anyone out there know if the problem is on my side or the remote side
and what can be done about it?  I'm really frustrated because everything
works when using cu and typing things in by hand, but doesn't work worth
a bean when uucico tries it.
