Yes, yes and yes.  We are not the only site to have transatlantic uucp
connections using trailblazers.  It works wonderfully - provided you remember
to munge the echo supression thing (S settings available upon request!).

To be completely legal and above board, the UK site should be using the UK
version of a trailblazer;  it's the same as the US one except (a) the voltage
and (b) it will not redial a number that is engaged more than 10 times in 4
hours - highly irritating for frequently busy connections!
