I cannot reliably Poll with uucp because it fails about 1/2 the time.
The result is usually a success one hour later. An hour later than I need 
it to be.

CODAR told me I have a bad modem. I do not believe that. Modems are
Hayes 2400. tty20 and tty21 behave the same. 1200 and 2400 behave the same.
Failures are not related to machine load, happening at all hours.

There must be something wrong with the hpsio driver. Has anyone had better
luck? I have seen several knocks of the hpsio in this group. Can it
really be "non-functional"? I have used it for several years on various
releases.

I have also looked at getty_ps from comp.sources.misc (unix?); but I have not
been able to make it work.  I do not think this problem has anything to do
with getty now; although I once thought that I might solve the problem by
having the better modem control of getty_ps.
