UUCP over ethernet (MICOM software)

I'm trying to get uucp working between a Sequent running Dynix and a
6386 WGS running Sysv/386 3.2.1, with the MICOM-Interlan NP600a ethernet
board and NP622a software.  I can rlogin and ftp from either machine to
the other, but haven't had any success getting uucp to work over the
ethernet.  I just need to have uucico do the equivalent of an rlogin
so it shouldn't require any special setup on the sequent end.

My /usr/lib/uucp files contain these entries:

Systems:

s.ms.uky.edu Any TLIS - \000\002\004\002\200\243\200\023 in:--in: [etc.]

Devices:

TLIS,e it - - TLIS \D nls

Devconfig:

service=cu	device=TLIS	push=ntty:tirdwr:ld0
service=uucico	device=TLIS	push=ntty:tirdwr:ld0

Dialers:
nls	""	"" NLPS:000:001:513\N\c
 [Have tried other numbers here ^^^ No difference]

and a sample Uutry -x9 s.ms.uky.edu looks like this:

[...]
chdir(/usr/spool/uucp/s.ms.uky.edu)
File exists: link(/usr/spool/locks/LTMP.15042, /usr/spool/locks/LCK..s.ms.uky.)
ulockf file /usr/spool/locks/LCK..s.ms.uky.
kill pid (15028), returned -1--ok to remove lock file (/usr/spool/locks/LCK..s.ms.uky.)
conn(s.ms.uky.edu)
Device Type TLIS wanted
ProtoStr = e
Internal caller type TLIS
filelock: ok
tlicall: bound to ^B 
                 [ ^ an actual \002 character ]
t_connect to addr "\N\002\004\002\377#\377\023"
         [ actually a \243 character ^ ]

At this point uucico just hangs until I kill it.  

All of my uucp entries match the MICOM manual notes, with the exception
of nls in Dialers; MICOM doesn't mention it but the entry matches AT&T's
example.  513 is the "login" service code (according to /etc/services
on both systems).

Has anyone else done this?  Does anyone know what's wrong?

Many thanks in advance,
Kenneth Herron
