I recently upgraded a machine to a CVG Super Modem 9600 (V.42). Doing this killed uucp between this system and another with a Telebit T2500. Previously the link worked okay at 2400 baud (no compression or error checking). Now when the two systems start up they do the initial handshake, agree on using 'g' protocol, and then proceed to alarm themselves to death. The two systems are both running the same version of HDB uucp. Also the link works fine for normal login (i.e., tip) applications. Does anyone out there have a magic cookie to use to initialize the CVG-9600 modem? Or is there a way to change the protocol between the two machines to avoid this behaviour? Less desirable would be changing the Telebit's setup since it communicates with several other machines. Thanx, Marc W. Howard Sun Microsystems Inc. Research Triangle Park, NC cram@sunpix.East.Sun.COM

This is not my answer; it belongs to two other guys who lent it to me; I don't
fully understand the answer, but it did work when I had the exact same symptoms:
- Check to make sure all chunks of the link have xon/xoff flow control
disabled.
