Being a stat mux with limited bandwidth, disabling xon/xoff still won't
solve the problem of uucico getting too far ahead of the buffers. Yes, I
can disable the flow control, but I still want to configure uucico to send
one packet at a time. I feel this will result in the best throughput, instead
of overflowing the buffer and resulting in constant retransmission. I know
uucico can be configured to do this. I'd just like to know how.
