+The maximum length of a site name has been changed from the old 7 to the
+14. This is the be compatible with the HoneyDanBer uucp (aka BNU 1) which
+is as close to a standard uucp as there is. Sites which have sitenames
+longer than 7 characters that only send you the first 7 characters are
+broken and should be fixed. However, there is a way of compensating for
+this until they fix their problem. For each site you talk to that has a
+name longer that 7 characters, put a line in /usr/lib/uucp/L.aliases of
+the form:
+       fullname name-truncated-to-7-characters.
+E.g:
+       tektronix tektron
+       lbl-csam lbl-csa
+       rochester rochest
+       ut-sally ut-sall
+(See UUAIDS/L.aliases for more details on aliasing uucp names.) If the site
+name is <= 7 characters, you don't have to do anything.
