I've RTFM'ed, but can't find an easy way to do this: Enable or disable Xon/Xoff on the port that uucico is using to call out on. Yes, I know about (stty ixon ixany; sleep 10000) </dev/tty1a but that's a bit of a kludge. What's the correct way to do it? -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.co.nz

Sorry, specifically when are you trying to switch the flow control on the line? -- jra

The problem, we found, was in the serial MUX being used between the 386 with SCO and the HP9000 mini. The serial MUX was set up to do strict in-band flow control, i.e. Xon/Xoff. It received some blocks at 9600, which soon filled its buffer -- so it asserted Xon, which was ignored by the SCO uucico. I believe uucico turns in-band flow control off. I was wondering how to change any other bits of uucico, e.g. out-of-band flow control, such as RTS/CTS. -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.co.nz

If you are having a problem, it might help to verify that the modem is not eating the Xoffs sent by the DTE. The most common and desirable program to respawn to the communication line via inittab is /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty; since this allows the same line to be used for both incoming and outgoing calls. -- John E Van Deusen III, PO Box 9283, Boise, ID 83707, (208) 343-1865 visdc!jiii vandeuse@ted.cs.uidaho.edu
