Here's the situation: 2 systems running sysV.3, sitting on the same table,
and connected by a direct line. There's no significant noise, and we can do
cu and uucp at speeds up to 9600 baud. BUT: while at up to 4800 baud transfer
rates look consistent with the baud rate, at 9600 baud uucp behaves strangely -
it seems that after passing each packet, it stops for about 10 seconds. No
error messages are produced.

Is this a common problem, or is it just us? Can anyone give us pointers
for debugging this? It's ok to uucp at 4800 baud, but we occasionally have
to use the same line for terminals, and switching baud rate is a nuisance.

	Thanks very much,
