At 9600 with a protocol as inefficent as UUCP-G 75% cpu wouldn't
suprise me to much.  The data is after all coming in 1 byte at
a time.  I just wanted to say it sounds like your handshaking is
not set up right somewhere.  Make sure your modem is set for
hardware flow control( CTS and will only recieve data when RTS is
high) also if you have the modems using MNP or V.42/V.42bis make
sure that the modem is running with the DTE/DCE rate fixed at
the DTE(computer) rate.  This has to be set up properly on BOTH
ends in order to work correctly.  The other thing is if your
drive is one of those drives that causes the mouse pointer
to jump during drive accesses, don't do any disk I/O as it will
cause real problems for the serial port.
