From the above number I conclude he meant the packet size.  That can
be set with "-P3" for 128 Bytes, "-P4" for 256 Bytes and so on.  The
wUUCP documentation says the maximum is "-P8" for 4096 Bytes.  Default
is "-P2" for 64 Bytes.

The window size can be set with the parameter "-n".  Useable range is
3 to 7 with a default of 7.  That are the options for wUUCP but my
memory says it's the same with Dillon's UUCP.

In addition to that I have set the option for shorter packets (this is
probably only in wUUCP; option "-packets") that allows the uucico to
use a smaller last packet if the last packet of the file will fit in a
smaller one.  Image a file 1088 Bytes large.  Instead of two packets
of 1024 Bytes each the uucico can then optimize it to one packet with
1024 Bytes and one with only 64 Bytes

I use a packet size of 1024 Bytes, the default setting for the window
size (default is 7) and shorter packets.  Experiment with the settings
for the packet size and try to find an optimum.

Stefan.
