A couple things about getting the elisp docs from osu-cis: first is that the
ls-lR.Z file (the compressed DIRECTORY LISTING) is over 100 k, and it expands
to 5 times that.
  The other thing is that people calling through the Micom port selector may
find it advisable to send a couple of extra \r\d s after establishing the
connection, to be sure of waking up the genii.  And also, when traffic is heavy,
the port selector may send funny messages that your uucp software should
probably interpret as telling it to try again later (but I don't know enough
to automate that).
