UUCP over REAL TCP-IP

I have successfully compiled SysVRel3.2 sources of UUCP - including (I
believe) the Ethernet driver.  How do I get an ethernet uucp connection?
Ethernet rlogin/telnet/rcp/smtp - all works fine.

Systems Entry...  xp5 Any TCP,e Any xp5 in:--in: secret word: secret
Devices Entry...  TCP      TCP   64 uucp TCP

I do not understand why the entries are as why they are.  I do not
know what information I should have in my /etc/services or inet.conf
files.  I would assume that I should be calling the 'telnet_daemon'
server on the target machine (for passwd validation - etc).  I do not
have a 'uucp_demon'.

Currently - running 'x9' on 'uucico' - I get...
....
chdir(/usr/spool/uucp/xp5)
conn(xp5)
ProtoStr = e
Device Type TCP wanted
Internal caller type TCP
tcpdial host xp5, port 5
family: 2
port: 5
addr: c8010105
connect failed: Connection refused
Internal caller type TCP
tcpdial host xp5, port 5
family: 2
port: 5
addr: c8010105
connect failed: Connection refused

PLEASE - Can anyone help?  (I'd prefere mail replies...) This question
has been posted before - no one replied.  In about 2 weeks time - if I
get no answers - you'll see it in 'comp.unix.wizards'.
