I had similar problems when I was first setting up my uport HDB system,
and trying to get all my old programs off my Tandy M16. I could only
transfer stuff if the HDB system initiated the transfer.
When you call in to a HDB system, the stuff in the Permissions file is
checked a lot more thoroughly than when you call out. (Like, I don't
know if it's checked at all when a HDB system calls out.)
The system you call should have a setup something like this for your
system in it's Permissions file. If you don't, then you'll have trouble
talking unless they call you.
LOGNAME=uuname \
MACHINE=system_name \
REQUEST=yes READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic \
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews \
SENDFILES=yes
Hope this helps...
