Which system are you referring to here?  The Pi or V7?

I'm a little surprised that you're trying to use the 'g' protocol to 
talk to v7.  I thought the 'g' protocol came out later for TCP over 
Ethernet connections.  As such I wonder if UUCP on v7 supports the 'g' 
protocol.

I think that Clem knows a LOT more about this than I do.

I'm ignorantly asking questions.

Shouldn't that be something more like the following?

Shere=v7

What does 'uuname -l' (or '--local') show?  (I'm much more familiar with 
Taylor UUCP than I am the UUCP in v7.

I've not messed with this particular problem in probably 2 years and 
I've forgotten more than comments above.
