I suspect that you're running into a parity mismatch, but it's
been at least four years since I did uucp into a standard 3.2v5.xxx
system, as we either switched to Taylor uucp on SCO or to Linux
systems for most of our uucp traffic.  I remember that there were
some special setup parameters on SCO systems necessary to talk to
old SunOS boxen that did 7bit even parity instead of 8-bit none.
It would require some digging through old archives for me to get
the details, but perhaps this will get you started in the right
direction.

The chat sequence I have on one of our Linux systems that calls
an SCO OpenServer system does have some delays in it which may
also help.  Here are the chat specs on our Taylor uucp sys file:

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't
they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning
anything?  If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five
years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
