I know of many computers *in*capable of handling 19.2K incoming, but
still work well with Telebit UUCP at 19.2K. I am certain the reason
this person had trouble was that they had register 58 set to use XON/XOFF
flow control which definitely interferes with the UUCP g protocol.
You can certainly back off to 9600, but unless your throughput at
19.2K is less than 1000cps, I wouldn't bother.

As a point of reference, my Macintosh can only handle 19.2K for about
10 seconds (til there is disk I/O) and I still get 1330cps out of
the connection even with the retransmits.
