4.4 Why does UUCP hangs on outgoing connections after sending the password, but other communications software do not have a problem with it?

What is happening is that the remote machine is waiting for you to end your login or password by typing a "Return" (aka &Mcirc; or CR or CARRIAGE RETURN). UUCP ends a line by sending a LineFeed (aka Ĵ or LF). Since UUCP doesn't send the CR, the login sequence is never completed, and you will usually get one of two error messages:

So how do you get UUCP to send CR, instead of LF?

End the send string with the sequence
n
c. For instance this line in L.sys will send a LF after login, but a CR after password.
