Everyone I talk to tells me something different on this (including
Telebit tech support!  Everyone agrees that spoofing is performed
in PEP mode, but no-one can agree on which other modes do spoofing.

>OTOH, the modem-to-DTE flow control can still have its little say.

Not when you have disabled *all* flow control (as I stated in my
post).  Depending on the modem (and I *dont* use Telebit modems),
there seems to be enough buffer space to support UUCP (with *all*
DTE-Modem flow control turned off) without lost packets, even when the
DTE-Modem data rate is greater than the Modem-Modem data rate.  This
is a purely empiracle estimate on my part thought...
