Packet size & number of windows in UUCP

[Rick Adams]

There is a bug in every uucico that I have ever seen that is derived
from ATT code (i.e. damned near everyone) where the protocol will
netgotiate a packet bigger than it can handle. It will then
happily bus error.

I have not figured out a way to negotiate the packet size that
is backwards compatible with all those broken 'g' protocol drivers.

So, yes, to negotiate the packet size you would have to do
a new protocol. If you're going to do that, you might as
well implement something like the zmodem protocol. (Its been
on my todo list for over 2 years)
