PC7300 direct connect to host - HOW TO DO IT?

I'm sure I saw this one discussed in the last few months.
What is the technique used to connect the 3b1/PC7300 (tty000)
to a host system via a direct connect RS232 cable?
(I have an eight wire connection that works fine with terminals)
I've tried a number of variations with the /usr/lib/uucp/...
files with little or no success. So, I have surmised that
I do not have my files (L.sys, L-devices, etc.) set up correctly.
(The testing is taking place under ver 2.0, could that be it?)
I would like to test the 'uucico' file transfer capability with
direct connect cable rather than 'modem-to-modem' transfers.
We would like to purchase a number of these "fireside sale"
PC7300's for workstation/terminals. ($450.00/terminal or
$595.00/PC7300 in my book is no contest). However, if the
slow baud rate problem can't be resolved (inexpensively) we'll
have to resort to the terminals.
I get a 'login:' prompt from the host with:
cu -s 9600 -l tty000 -e dir
(was there a solution to the slow baud rate here?)
(I seem to be connected at around 4800 baud)
I've logged in and done a number of tasks. I know the connection
is solid. So where do you think I've gone wrong?
