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.

Note 'cu' uses the uucp config files; if you do this with kermit you
might get a different response. If so, the issue is likely your config
files.


$ cu kirin
Connected.


Welcome to OpenVMS (TM) VAX Operating System, Version V7.3   

Username: ~.

Disconnected.


Check for permissions on the remote system. My distro ships the binaries
so that only users in the "uucp" group can use them (changed). Check
your x/inetd stanza (whichever Debian uses) on the remote host.

-r-sr-xr-- 1 uucp uucp 287704 Oct 31 15:16 /usr/sbin/uucico
Debian might do things differently.

service uucp
{
        flags           = IPv6
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = uucp
        group           = uucp
        server          = /usr/sbin/uucico                                     
        server_args     = -l --debug chat,handshake,uucp-proto,proto,port,incoming
        log_on_failure  += USERID                                              
        log_on_success  += USERID                                              
}

Your "call" file should have something like:
remotehostyourcalling  logintouseonremotehost  theremotepassword

for each host you call. Taylor-to-Taylor, most defaults should work
otherwise.
