Look at the file:
/usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/xferstats

Assuming Sun's HDB is like everyone else's, the info you want is already
there.  It is, however, per-file and may not accurately reflect the
overhead of establishing the connection and doing the between-file
handshaking.  With telebit modems doing uucp-spoofing, it may be
especially far off since it will only measure the time until the
last file packet is in the sending modem's buffer.  Actually I don't
think it even checks on the last packet being written to the physical
device since I sometimes see speeds faster than the baud rate would
allow on non-spoofing lines - or maybe this is just the clock granularity.
