I am not familiar with dcp specifically, but I have worked with another
such program floating about the Public Domain called Uclone. Whenever it
called out, it produced a file of debug information similar to uucico's
'-x' switch. I would suggest you investigate if dcp does the same. When
I first attempted to get Uclone to work it also would time out, checking
the debug file revealed that the program was waiting for "Shere sitename"
from the slave system, whereas any uucp I have ever encountered only would
send "Shere". At that point I edited the source so it would only expect
"Shere", it then worked (such as it was). The only other possible problem
that I can think of is a problem with your login string. Email me some
further info and/or questions and I will provide whatever help I can.
