Is your modem set to auto-baud select, usually &Q6? That way you can have
a different telco line speed to that between the modem and computer.
Although that doesn't look like the problem here.

: system mwcbbs
: time Any
: baud 38400
: port com4fl
: phone 17085590452
: chat "" \n in:-\n-in: nuucp word: public word: XXXXXXXXXX
          \r\d\r  in: nuucp
          should be a little more responsive,

I'd be inclined to use a non-flow controlled port. UUCP does it's own flow
control. and,
This is the bit that you are falling over on. mwcbbs takes some time to answer
usually.

chat-timeout 60
        so that the thing waits for the called system to respond.
        The default timeout is to short. It might help to put the
        same line in your 'dial' file as well. It seems to respond to
        both places depending on its needs. Thats 60 seconds. You can try increasing
        that.

: protocol g
: protocol-parameter g window 3
: protocol-parameter g packet-size 64

    you should try removing the above protocol stuff, and replacing it
with
protocol igj
    as the i protocol is MUCH faster, and bi-directional. You don't need
    to put window sizes etc in. Accept the defaults.

: request yes transfer yes
: remote-send /usr/spool/uucppublic /tmp
: remote-receive /usr/spool/uucppublic /tmp
: commands rmail uucp rnews

   The above are all defaults, so you dont really need to put them in!

: Thank you for all your help.

Hope that gets it for you.
