UUCP is giving 'alarm' messages

Fri Nov 18 03:35:23 AEST 1988

Could someone please expain what 'alarm' messages mean when two machines are
trying to send OR receive files.  Everything else with the debugging output
seems fine until one machine requests/sends a file to the other.  Then 10
alarm messages come on to the screen, followed by an UNSUCCESSFUL message.

What's going on here?  (I am running this on a 3B2)

Thanks,
