Our main mail machine runs a version of uucp that is based on the original
v7 one, but with zillions of bug fixes.  We have noticed a peculiar problem:
uucp sessions with 4.2bsd uucp sites typically have a drop off in transfer
rate for data RECIEVED by us (data SENT goes ok).  This is at 1200 baud,
where transfer rates on a good connection normally are around 105-110
chars/sec.  When the 4.2 problem arises the received rate drops to around
70-75 chars/sec.  What is peculiar is that it does not always happen, but
usually does.  There is never a drop off when the uucp version is v7 or
4.1.  Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, are there any fixes?

Perplexed,
