You know what happens when you assume!....

Trailblazers do not need flow control when using UUCP.  The modem has
UUCP -g protocol built in.  This is what makes it able to produce output
with PEP mode of 19200 baud. At a lower link speed (e.g. 2400 baud) the
UUCP from the host computer to the remote is handled directly.
