I'm not sure what problems you're having with dropped characters. I get
my uucp feed from a VAX at 9600, and have run 9600 modems for testing.
Not only do I not get dropped characters, but I have done 9600 modem
connections while the uucp was running. I gave up on 9600 modems for
other reasons, but I haven't seen any dropped characters. I'm running
one AST ATvantage (sp?) board and one old IBM serial I snarfed from an
XT. I just wish wish Xenix supported 19.2kb...
