I recently have been having problems with uucico having problems receiving
large files from my news feed.  When run with Uutry, I see bunches of
"alarm " messages and eventually the transfer fails. 

My suspicion is flow control is not being used/set up correctly by uucico.
This in turn is causing a loss of data.

My modem is a Telebit TrailBlazerPlus/T200 set to run at 9600 baud and to use
XON/XOFF flow control.  My OS is 386ix 2.0.2 from Interactive Systems.

I did a "stty -a speed 9600 baud; line = 0; intr = DEL; quit = ^|; erase = #; kill = @; eof = ^f; eol = ^a; swtch = ^`

IXON and IXOFF are not ON!!  I have search through all the documents that I
have trying to specify that uucico should use IXON/IXOFF protocol to no avail.

For that matter, I have never seen any reference to the hardware control lines
that are part of the tty lines.

Is there a way to configure uucico to use IXON/IXOFF flow control?  Is there
a way to specify the use of the hardware flow control?  

Thanks for any help you can provide!
