AT&T's UNIX releases for the 3B2 have been, er, strange.  I've been helping a
local company maintain 3B2's with WIN/3B on them.  Ugh.

In any case, I have used SVR2 UUCP (Plexus P/60) and HDB for SVr3.1 (Altos
1000); *neither* had any problems with 8-character host names in either
direction.  (I may be wrong about the SVR2 UUCP, it's been 3 1/2 years since I
last touched it.  But I work with the SVR3.1 machines daily, including UUCP.)
