We just recently got on Ford Motor Company's Dearborn Campus Ethernet -
this allows us to do telnet/ftp/etc...  with other Ford hosts.  I can
telnet to our VAX (running Wollongongs TCP/IP package) and to Masscomps,
Fortunes, PC Clones, etc ...

One box I do uucp mail with over a Sytek LAN (9600 baud).  I can now
telnet to this box.  The sysadm of this box has ported a uucp server to
his box on port 540 (like the telnet server, is runs a login/passwd
clone to verify identity, but it then execs a uucico instead of a
shell).  I would like to do uucp with him over the net.

He's not familiar with HP-UX (we're running 6.5 on a 370).  He thought
that I'd only have to do a few things:

	1) Put in a Systems entry that had TCP or NET as the device type

	2) Make sure his system name and Internet address appear in
	   /etc/hosts

I have done these things, and get 'requested device not found' messages
from uucico.  He can't give me any more ideas.

So, how *does* one do uucp over the Ethernet with HP-UX 6.5?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
