I don't think the modem is reporting "Alarm n"; I think that's output by
uucico.

If you're setting your port to 19200, why wouldn't you
have S50=255?
And do you also have S110=255 and S111=30?

Is the trouble only with Netnews, or can you just
run a uucp transfer to another site and get good
results?

And do you have CTSFLOW and RTSFLOW in your gettydefs?
