I'm having (have been for a while here) a problem getting a handshake between
a pc running waffle 1.64, and a unix host. (actually, either one of two unix
hosts)

Entries on the pc side:

     \waffle\system\systems : entries triple checked, and compared with
                              the systems files of other successful
                              waffle installs.

     \waffle\system\static  : entries triple checked, and compared with
                              the static files of other successful
                              waffle installs.

     /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys    ; entries the same as other functional uucp
                              nodes.

     /usr/lib/uucp/USERFILE : entries the same as other functional uucp
                              nodes.

each of the two unix hosts have been communicating by uucp for a *long*
time with no problems whatsoever. I've checked every way I can think of.

The systems, pc and unix host, connect. uucp logs into the host, passing
the login: and password: prompts easily. The systems identify to each
other, the host giving the Shere= and my pc giving the Rxxxxxx response.
then:

rmsg sync  10
Cannot Tango - reason: RLOGIN

and that about does it. Does _anyone_ have any suggestions? This is making
me zonkers! I have tried to see if it's a matter of hated nodenames, node
name length, small typos in the support files on either system. Because the
unix boxes communicate flawlessly, and waffle does exactly the same abort
talking to either unix host, I'm pretty sure there is something amiss on 
the pc side.

HELP!

please reply:  bobk@isc-br!tau-ceti

thanks in advance
