Bob,

We have an identical setup!  Use "uuto <filename> <sysname>!<login>" to
send to the 3B2, where
	<filename> is the file on the 7300,
	<sysname> id the 3B2's name,
and	<login> is the user's login.

Then have the user type
	"tail -f /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE"
and watch the progress of the call and xfr.  Next, the user should logon
to the 3B2, and use "uupick" to retrieve his files from the public
directory.

3B2-->7300 requires issuing a uucp command from the 7300.

Watchout for file and directory permisssions!  The file to be xfrd must
be r for all, and the directory that it resides in must be rx for all.
