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.
 

I now have determined the issue to be that no inputs are sent via uucp or cu to the other system, except for carrier returns.
I don't know why this is the case as it already works on other systems without a hitch (some are already connected via erebor), but only between those two new systems it just doesn't work.
Ok, more investigation...
