question on uucp connect failure

I'm trying to connect to another site via uucp.  The other site
can call me and connect fine -- all files transfer OK, but I
can't seem to make connection with him.  The dial goes OK, login
goes OK, but uucp startup gives a protocol error with him
logging an error saying that site pwa-b is not vaild for 
connection or something to that effect.  Since he sends me a reject
in the protocol (a capital R), the connection goes away.  Obviously
he needs to put my machine name in a file somewhere.  He's a novice
and I'm not familiar with his version of uucp and he's an hour drive
away.   The specifics:

my system:  VAX 11/780, Berleley 4.2, standard Berkeley uucp
his sys:    AT&T 3B1 (UNIX-PC #7300) Version 3.0 of the OS.  Standard uucp
            on that system.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
