My stall code would work if you somehow set linebaudrate.  The VMIN
code will fail since a TCP connection is not a tty, but my code just
does a select on no file descriptors.

Incidentally, someone really ought to try tweaking the 1/10th second
`guess' I used for the initial `delay since we last got here', now
that UUCP is generally run on something other than a VAX 11/780 with
Able DH/DM devices (which is where I tested it).
