UUCP help

[Jeffrey B. DeLeo]

I have two Ultrix systems that are using NFS and yellow pages.  UUCP
works from one machine (thoth) and not the other (silc).

The machines share the same /var/uucp and /usr/spool/uucp directories:

Typical /usr/spool/uucp/sys entries

drwxr-xr-x  9 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 16 13:33 bunny
drwxr-xr-x  9 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 17 09:29 harvard

contents of /usr/spool/uucp/sys/harvard

drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 17 09:38 C.
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Apr 28  1989 D.
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 17 09:29 D.silc
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 17 09:29 D.silcX
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 17 09:11 D.thoth
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Jan 17 09:11 D.thothX
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp     daemon        512 Apr 28  1989 X.

Mail sent from thoth goes into D.thoth (data) and D.thothX
(instructions). Mail sent from silc goes into D.silc (data) and
D.silcX (instructions).

Uutry works normally from thoth (as reporteed by uulog):
root harvard (1/17-13:58-20627) OK (conversation complete)
root harvard (1/17-13:59-20627) closed generic acu (fd=8)

Uutry fails from silc :
root harvard (1/17-13:57-22983) ERROR (Generic dialer failed - acu =
/dev/ttyd0, cause = no carrier) 
root harvard (1/17-13:57-22983) FAILED (call to harvard, DIAL FAILED )

Question : Why does the generic dialer always fail from one machine,
and work from the other?
