$This may be character overrun on the serial port. If you're using the
I've had that suggested, but I'm only running at 2400 bps.
$standard COM[12] serial ports at high speed (19200 or over, or even 9600
Note that SCO doesn't officially support rates greater than 9600 bps;
they're there for you to try out, but not guaranteed to work.
One funny thing I just noticed last night: if I start up uucico without
any work to send, it generally won't work. If, on the other hand, I send
something, it seems to receive OK. I'm going to play around with this for
a while and see if that holds up and, if so, see if I can find any difference
between what it does when there's work and what it does when there isn't.
The site I'm fed from also runs Xenix 2.3.2; I may try getting a feed from
another site (a Sun 2) to see if it's perhaps a bug in the Xenix uucico.
