Some more throughput can be squeezed out of SCO's uucico by hacking the
packetsize up to 128 bytes. On my uucico:

	adb -w uucico
	pkopen+55?w80
	^D

Remember to do this at both ends.

I would have thought it would also work at larger sizes but there must be
some fixed sized buffers because it doesn't.

Ethernet throughput went from about 4000cps to 6000cps. 

My uucp news feed through the PPP went from about 170cps to 230cps.
