Help on setting UUCP <--> Internet

I have a 4D/25 running Irix 3.3.  My problem is the sendmail setup between
a remote UUCP site and the internet machine.  The remote machine uses
modem to poll mails down from the forwarding host which is the 4D/25.
So what exactly should I do on Irix 3.3 to make this work?

Note that the remote machine is registered in US Domain, so the domain
is not hostname.UUCP but hostname.city-name.state-name.us
(P.S. if I use UUCP as domain, it will work fine.)

I tried to modify sendmail.cf and /usr/lib/uucp/Systems but it did not help,
I always got error message like "unknown host ... hostname ... .ether
not found"
All responses will be appreciated.  I really need some clues to figure
that out.
