"uucico".  It chooses the baud rate based on assorted configuration
files (see the documentation), and chooses most of the rest of the
options based on "what works with the 'g' protocol", i.e. 8 bits, no
parity, no special input processing, OPOST off.  (It may choose other
options with protocols other than "g".)

In fact, since "uucico" will be fired up on machine B when machine A
logs in, the slave "uucico" will *also* choose most of the rest of the
options based on what the "g" protocol wants; the input baud rate will
be established by the login procedure, but a lot of the other settings
established by the login procedure will be discarded.  I.e., the slave
"uucico" will choose 8 bits, no parity, no special input processing,
OPOST off.
