The packet size is small enough to not normally cause problems, but due to the multiple packet windowing you may get multiple packets in one transmission. Normally the best way to deal with this situation is simply to disable XON/XOFF and let UUCP provide its own flow control -- most networks provide some means to do this. --Lauren--
