Problem setting up UUCP

I've been trying to set up a UUCP connection with only partial success.
Originally, it was giving me "garbage or bad modem cable" as soon as the
internal modem started to dial; using an external modem solved this.
Now I'm at the point where I can send files from my machine to another,
but I can't receive files. The sysadmin at the other end found a permission
problem, but that didn't fix the problem. After my machine has finished
sending its stuff, the other machine starts to send me whatever's waiting;
that's normal enough. But sooner or later (usually sooner), my machine
will fail to send an acknowledgement. The other end will try every few
seconds; nothing will happen. Only once has an entire file managed to
make it to my machine; often, it dies on the very first incoming packet.
I've set the permissions of everything in /usr/spool/uucp to rwxrwxrwx,
owned by uucp; I've run uucheck -v and it doesn't complain. Any ideas
from those of you who've successfully set up UUCP?
Oh, and one other little question: using the standard Xenix mailer, how
do I stop it from dialing out every time I send a mail message? Not a big
deal; I can live with it if I have to, but I'd rather plow through my
mailbox and then send the whole lot at once.
