I don't think you should have a problem, provided you run a version of the Annex software that allows you to disable ^S/^Q. If the following command works at the annex: prompt, you're in luck: stty iflow none oflow none If that's the case, completely disable *all* flow control on the Telebits. The will increase the modems internal buffer space to the point where the uucp g protocol will flow control the link before you run out of resources on the Annex (or the modem). Caveat: I haven't tried this at 19200 with a Telebit, but I have heard of others who have done it. The only modems we have on the Annex right now are 2400 baud. -- Lyndon Nerenberg CF6BBM / Computing Services / Athabasca University {alberta,decwrl}!atha!lyndon || lyndon@cs.AthabascaU.CA
