 What is talking to what? Is this Taylor? Some common ones:
 

It's Taylor on Debian, talking to Taylor on Debian.

# DECUS 2.0 on VMS
chat "" \r\c sername:-BREAK-sername:-BREAK-sername: \L word: \P
 # UUPC for Windows
chat ogin: \L ssword: \P
 # Solaris HDB:
chat ogin: \L ssword: \P
 # Minix3, also Taylor on Linux

  Check your logs, and run uucico by hand with debugging:
uucico -S whatever -x chat,handshake,port,config,incoming,outgoing
 cu whatever
 Should also get you to the remote prompt of system "whatever".
 

Hmm. I get the remote prompt for system esgaroth, but after entering the password it does not do anything for a while, then closes the connection with
cu: Got hangup signal
cu: Exit status 0
cu: fconn_close: Closing connection
                                                   Disconnected.
It seems to me I am getting a connection, and then it doesn't know what to do with one another. I am getting a handshake failed error again.
