I need help with a modem I just bought.  I bought a "Practical Modem 9600"
from CompuAdd (may have been "9600SA" actually) and now I'm trying to use
it to UUCP between an SPARC SLC and a remote computer with Trailblazers.

Has anyone ever used one of these modems?  Apparently, it was an InfoWorld 
product of the year, but I'm concerned that it's use with UNIX systems, Sun
in particular, may be minimal.

When I am transfering a file via UUCP and I turn on debug, my system times
out waiting for another packet.  I've tried playing with flow control,
along with waving  my hands and a couple other things, but I can't figure it
out.  I'm reasonably confident that the remote system is OK, mainly because
someone with an identical setup to mine, except they have a Trailblazer
instead, works with no problem.

So, any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks,
