) Hi,
)
) there was great trouble getting UUCP to work with with these new control-
) ler-embedded 16550-FIFO-SIOs. It did work as usual until the line "handshake
) successful", and then was not able to receive one single block of data with-
) out error, until after about 10 Minutes it reports: 0 bytes transferred, 0
) bps. This is baudrate-independent, it happens with 300 baud as with 57600
) baud. With g-proto, uucico can send, but won't receive anything.
)
) Operating System is FreeBSD-2.1, and everything else does work on that SIOs
) (Xmodem, Zmodem, PPP). UUCP does work with the OS and the configuration,
) if one puts an additional, usual SIO add-on-card into the machine (no matter
) if 8250 or 16550).
)
) When i got angry about that, i started to change values in the uucp-source.
) I succeded in libunix/serial.c by disactivating the "setmin" code (it
) says: "if we can tell the terminal not to return after we have a certain
) number of characters, do so."). uucico consumes some more CPU power now,
) but runs with good performance.
)
) Explanations, anybody?

I comment lines in src/gnu/libexec/uucp/libunix/serial.c (lines 2163-2212) and I have compiled uucico.
UUCP works well now with the on-board serials ports.
But I tell so do you have explanations...
I thinks this help anybody else.
Best Regards
