This can be a real problem.  I feed news to a site with an
unbelievably poor PBX: the *largest* instantenious xmit rate I have
seen is 5986, and the largest receive rate is 4038.  Average is more
like 4000 and 2200.  They tell me that 2400bps modems cannot connect
over the lines.  I think it impressive that the TB+s work at all.

Unfortunately, it appears that sometimes my uucico gives up waiting
for a CY packet.  The TB+ buffers so much data that at those transfer
rates, it takes a long time for the queued data to get sent.  In the
meantime my uucico gets impatient and begins retrying, and if the
lines are bad enough it appears to eventually give up on the session.
