I believe it was only over TCP.  The problem was a division by the tty
baudrate, which could sometimes be 0.  Perhaps Andrey can tell more.

I'm also getting news via that link, normally without problems.  The
problems only started when i was getting a large file (e.g. a 50 KB
newsbatch), while i was sending a > 100 KB file simultaneously.
Sending files only in a single direction always worked.
