"uucico" on the Sun should be sending out "^PShere", not "Shere"; other
versions of UUCP do so (possibly with "=<hostname>" after it, where
"<hostname>" is the name of the machine in question), and I think this
dates back to primordial times (i.e., V7).  Whatever code is dumping
what it sees from the Sun may not be printing the ^P, or may not be
printing it in such a fashion that you can tell it *is* a ^P, but that's
a different matter.
