This problem seems to be generic to Ultrix UUCP. I have a h*** of a time
passing traffic to systems running it. We run CTIX (Sys_V), and I've also
tried it from V7 without much luck. It does seem to talk to 4.2 quite
nicely.

Again, in our case the big problem seems to be TIMEOUTs. We can usually
push between 20 and 40 packets across, then the sender (us) starts timing
out and resending. After a while it just gives up.

One day (in frustration), I compiled the code on a non-VAX machine and
tried it. Same result, so it doesn't look like it's a hardware related
problem.

Like the man said, HELP!
