- The /etc/gettydefs entries are not likely to cause problems with uucp, because
- uucico sets up the serial port to its liking when it starts up. So most of
- the flags you can mess with via gettydefs are irrelevant.
-
- The sole exception (for a high speed connection) might be the CRTSCTS flag,
- which turns on RTS/CTS flow control for the port. In order to use this flag
- with getty_ps, you *must* be using version 2.0.3, which is on sunsite.unc.edu.
- (tsx-11 seems to have lost it -- I hope it will be replaced there soon)

- P.S. I have a 9600 bps serial line between two machines, and can uucp fine,
- *without* using CRTSCTS, on a 386/40. (Although I'm not certain my Amiga on
- the other end can put out the full 9600 bps to make overruns a threat)
