This is pretty slow - you ought to be getting more like 1000-1300 cps or more. You definitely need no flow control with uucp if you don't ask the modem to perform baud rate conversion (set S66=0, that is). Also you should make sure that UUCP spoofing is on (S111=30), Data Compression off (S110=0). There are serious serial driver problems with CTIX before release 5.0; perhaps an O/S upgrade in the near future might be helpful. -- ,u, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ontario a /i/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `\o\-e UUCP: ...!utai!mnetor!becker!bdb _< /_ "Waking up is hard to do" - Neil Sedated
