Does anyone have experience running uucp over a packet network or stat mux?
I am attempting to run uucp over an stat mux. The basic problem is that,
being a stat mux, it flows controls (xoff/xon) when you get ahead of its
available bandwidth. The version of uucico that I run is somehow set
to stream 3 packets before requiring an ack from the other side. Trouble, is
the stat mux has given an xoff by this time and everything goes to pot. The
buffer size on the mux is enough for 1 packet, but HOW DO I SET UUCICO
TO SEND ONE PACKET AND THEN WAIT FOR ACK? I cannot find any docs on this.
One side is running HP-UX version (SYS V) and the other side Sun OS.

I realize that this will slow down throughput a bit, but it's that or not
having it at all. If anyone knows how to set up uucico to wait after
each packet, I would be very grateful.
