I've been following this discussion and have a few dumb questions to ask...

Since many of the new modems have MNP error checking/correction in 
hardware/firmware, would it be possible to run UUCP without any packetizing
or error checking with MNP in "reliable" mode?

I've read there are protocols (F, X ???) which do no error checking.  If
one of these were used, wouldn't better performance result?  Would it be
necessary to recompile the source for uucico on *both* ends of the connection
to get this to work?  In other words, if system #1 has a source license and
can re-compile uucico to use F protocol (or whatever), will system #2 use
F when it is called?  If you don't have uucico source, is there any way to 
use a protocol other than G?
