I tried fixed 19.2K (I only have V.32), and it didn't solve anything. The site I feed off has other sites feeding off it, with no complaints. I am not sure about the flow control situation, and I'll try some combinations of DTR and CTS/RTS, Thanks for the suggestion. > ends in order to work correctly.

My mouse pointer doesn't 'go jerky' due to HD transfers, only when some spastic program (like Online! V2) decides to forbid multitasking! :-( [No, I'm not using Online! to communicate with a UUCP site :-), it's just an example.] On the seemingly silly suggestion that this 'problem' with UUCP was only recently being seen with 68030 owners, I reverted to 68000 (7.14Mhz) mode, and proceeded to get my mail to RAM:, at 9600, without a hitch. The unfortunate side effect is that RNEWS/Uuxqt are real dogs in 68000 mode, and automatically start up when UUCICO finish. :-(. I'll try it on HD with 68000 mode with tommorrows mail session.
