For the sites I administer I use the following configuration:

	Default state (forced by DTR dropping) is to set register
	50 to 0, and register 111 to 255. This allows the modem to
	handle speed conversion on dialup, and allows the caller to
	specify whatever protocol support they require.

	On uucp dialouts, the modem chat script includes the commands
	to set 50=255 and 111=30 for PEP connections. This is simple
	in HDB uucp (using the Dialers entry), but it's also easy for
	v7 uucp's:

foo Any ACU 9600 15551212;s50=255;s111=30;d ogin: ...

Of course if your v7 uucico likes to treat ';' as a delay character
(did someone say Ultrix?) you are SOL unless you have source, or like
editing binaries with emacs (which isn't as hard as it might sound in
this case - in the Ultrix 1.2 uucico the character ';' only appears in
five places that are likely candidates - you get to guess which one
it is :-)

[ Something else: turn OFF flow control. ALL of it! ]
