This is the first I've heard about a "fix" for this one, and I've been
bugging the support people about it for two years.  If I have the 6150
talk to my TrailBlazer at 19200 baud, it loses characters.  The
machines has a buffered 4-port adapter (16550 UART chips) and it works
at 9600 Baud max, which gives me 700-800 cps on UUCP transfers.

The UUCP symptom is that uucico times out and kills itself with an
assert(), telling me that it's at line 365 in program pk1.c
