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.
