#What do you mean by "spoofs"?  Spoofing is the conventional term for a
#special feature in the modem where it becomes intimately involved in the
#file transfer protocol.  The mere ability to do uucp transfers with the
#modem is not "spoofing", only when the modem has a special feature for
#the protocol.

#What special register/switch settings do you adjust to turn on the spoofing

	I think there is some confusion concerning the term spoofing.
	The Multitech 224 spoofs HP ENQ/ACK  ^E/^F for the HP3000 machines.
	I don't believe this has anything to do with UUCP. If ^E/^F are
	a factor in UUCP transfers, then you will need to turn ENQ/ACK
	pacing off AT&E8. You may want to turn off Pacing AT&E12. This
	makes the modem transparent to any flow control. This might 
	mess up binary file transfers. If you use speed conversion you
	need flow control.
