There is a serious bug in the serial driver in 2.0 related to
incoming calls (and uucico).  You basically can't receive calls
without wedging the serial port.  If you restrict your UUCP traffic
to call-only until this bug is fixed, you shouldn't have any problems
with it locking up.

It's bug #13061.

You should tell your UUCP neighbors not to call you ("Never" in the
L.sys file) and you should set up your /etc/crontab file to poll
them every so often.  Send me Email if you don't know how to do this.
