Do you have a 16550 UART? I use a serial speed of 38400 bits/sec with a
ZyXEL modem running at 19k2 and INN's rnews and innd do not give problems
when run concurrently with uucico. Not using a 16550 UART can give problems
when using CPU/IO intensive programs.

Get bash 1.13.cwru. Bash 1.12 has too many problems for running INN 1.4
reliably. You can get bash 1.13 and my configuration hints for INN from:
