	The information following the 'P' in both first lines above
	should be the phone number - it looks like it's picking up
	the line and dialing '6', then waiting for connect. Try
	using the office window "Mail Setup" inside the "Administration"
	object to modify the phone number your system is calling. Select
	"Electronic Mail Names of other systems", highlight the entry
	for "shop" and hit the "EDIT" screen key. The Unix PC owners'
	manual covers setting up the PC to exchange mail on pps 4-31
	through 4-46.

	Alternatively, of course, you could log in as root, and use
	vi to edit the /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys file, where the phone
	number is kept.
	
	One place to find format information on this
	file is the "UNIX Programmers Manual", vol 2, published
	by Holt, Rinehart & Winston and Bell Laboratories. This manual
	covers the seventh edition of Unix, but is applicable to
	Unix-PC UUCP (Versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5). The sections
	"A Dial-Up Network of UNIX(tm) Systems", and "Uucp Implementation
	Description", starting on page 569 are the ones you want.
