UUCP expects a fully transparent 8 bit data path.  If the Interlan box
is intercepting xon and xoff, it won't work.  Also, if there are certain
characters that will wake up the Interlan to allow local commands, you'll
have the same problem.  Sizes and sequence numbers are sent as binary
numbers in the headers.  UUCP does its own flow control, so as long as
the baud rates are the same on both ends (or close enough that 2-3
64 byte packets can be buffered) there is no need for external flow
control.  This is true of all versions I know of.
