I've been using the interim version of UUPC for a few weeks now to make
UUCP transfers to/from by humble little IBM/AT which runs under MSDOS. Over
all I think UUPC is pretty decent software. The UUIO program emulates the
real UNIX UUCICO send-expect scripts in every important way. As a result,
I have found that one can make reliable connects a very high percentage
of attempts.

  The difficulty I have been experiencing is with excessive numbers of
data checksum errors. The phone connections I get with KERMIT or something
similar are very clean, so the phone communication itself is not a big
suspect. Few transfers result in zero errors, and some result in alot
( for example a 10K byte file had ~400 errors ). The source file ulib.c from
the local.arc archive contains some comments which allude to this problem.
The general indication was that interrupts from the serial port were
not always being serviced in a proper manner.

  Can anyone give be a brief explanation as to exactly what causes
this, and of any possible remedies? E-mail replies are best, I will post
responses to summarize if appropriate.

Thanks in advance!
