JG> What do you have as my system name in your 'systems' file? It will have to 

I do not have an /etc/systems file.

JG> be changed to 'grntrs' for me to be able to connect to you via UUCP. 

Are you sure?  I don't know where to put that, if it is true.

JG> This is what I am known as on the other system I dial into and according to 
JG> the fxuucico docs, this name must be the same for all systems I dial into.

JG> I have your system name as 'scorpio' in my 'systems' file. Is this correct?

That's what I call my local system, yes.

JG> Note: This isn't my login name ie Ujeffg.

Well, whenever I was in doubt, I put in Ujeffg.  In actual fact, in one
place I called you Ujeffg.scorpio.rosebay.com.au!!!  I was hoping that
after it was working, people who have a real internet address, could use
that instead of the stuff that I made up.  But I'm not sure about that yet.
BFN.  Paul.
