Howdy, all.

My news feed is getting ready to start sending to me. I've tested uucp
to and from this DEC Ultrix-based system, and all is well except one
annoying point: the transmissions from their system to mine go MUCH
faster than those going the other way. I can see the packet ACKs going
out and noticed that, when my system is doing the sending, the ACKs are
much more frequent, implying a smaller window size.

Has anyone discovered a window size patch for SCO's uucp? If this is not
possible, perhaps someone has devised a replacement uucp that moves along
a little better.

Responses via email, please. I'll summarize the most interesting responses.

Thanks in advance to all.
