	I run a Mail/News server here in Miami and have a system which just
started using Waffle.  He was also getting very low throughput.  To solve
this, you have to change the packet and window settings.  Since I am using
AmigaUUCP I have to configure my system so that whenever this system calls,
to use a Window of 7 and a segment size of 128.  This is the most efficient
setting when connecting at 14400 Baud.  You also want to leave V.42Bis
Enabled.  He then configured his system to call mine with a window of 7 and
a segment size of 128.  If you are using a 9600 Baud modem then you should
set yourself, as well as your connecting site, for a window size of 7 and a
segment size of 512.

	If you do not have a 16550, you may have some problems with packet
errors.  You might also want to switch to a UUCICO which does not require a
FOSSIL driver.  I retreived a file called fxuc02b.zip which does just that.
The avaerage transfer rate for this system is 1400-1500 CPS using the
standard UUCP 'g' protocol.
