[f-nsp] BGP between XMRs (or from XMR to Juniper)

  I'm brand new to Foundry devices and thought I was doing well, but
somehow I'm stumbling at getting something as simple as BGP running
(iBGP), and I can't afford to tear much more hair out.
  Is much else needed just to establish a session besides:

-ip connectivity (PtP and loopback IPs seen on both sides, all pingable)
-an IGP (or static routes) to advertise loopback IPs (using OSPF)
-local-as
-neighbor statement specifying a neighbor IP and remote-as

  I know there are dozens of other settings I can (and will) employ,
but just to get a session up, should it require much more ?
  When trying to establish a session to a Juniper m10 with full
traceoptions enabled, the m10 indicated:

Apr  3 10:30:20.868934 bgp_recv: peer 172.16.0.4 (Internal AS 64555):
received unexpected EOF

  where 172.16.0.4 is the XMR.  I (apparently) have full logging
enabled on the XMR, but it's telling me nothing (unless I'm not asking
it properly).  The following shows logging enabled, but I see nothing
about BGP:

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
    Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 32 messages logged
    level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error
                I=informational N=notification W=warning


Any thoughts or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.
Of all the things I plan to configure on the XMRs, I figured BGP would
be the easiest, but clearly I'm missing something.  Thanks in advance.
