Odd, my problem is just the opposite.  We just upgraded our Sparc Stations
to 4.1 and our connection with a Xenix site was broken as well.  However,
the Xenix site can log in fine.  Problem is that I can't get the chat
script to connect on the Xenix site.  It seems that the Xenix site does
not recognize the character we send for ^M (carriage return).  The uucico
-x5 shows that the ^M's are sent, but they don't register on the other
end.  Sending a ^J (linefeed) seems to do the trick, but then the login
still fails with a login incorrect message.  I dunno, I think it's a
parity problem.  There was a problem on the serial port which I fixed
through eeprom.  I did a shutdown and a halt and brought the system back
up after fixing the parity setting.  Do I need to turn the machine
completely off for the setting to take effect or something?
