We are trying to get VMS mail to talk to Unix mail over an RS232
cable. We have an 11/780 running V3.7 of VMS, talking to an
11/750 running 4.2 Bsd from Mt Xinu, in Berkeley. I have been
trying to get a package called uvcp, from Microtel to work, but I
am having some problems with it.

Going from the unix side, running uucico in the debug mode (-x9),
it does log into the VMS system, but we get the following
sequence;

% uucico -r1 -x9 -sVMS

It looks like the initial handshaking takes place, but then it
just hangs.

After enabling the unix port, the results from the vms to unix
link is;

$ uucico -r1 -x9 -sunix
gdial called
finds called
getto called
call: no. txa0 for sys unix
$

and thats it, it just quits.

If anyone has any suggestions, or is familiar with the uvcp
package, I would sure appreciate any advice. Thank you in
advance.
