I find that my inbound news averages (as shown by 'uutraf') a bit better than
1200cps.  Outbound stuff, which is usually mail messages, news articles, etc,
are around 1650-1670 cps.  Do I have a configuration problem here, or is this
typical?

I'm also seeing "alarm x" messages when I try to do other stuff on the system
while it's receiving news packets on the Telebit -- Do I need to install
a 16550 on the serial port to reduce system load?
