I hope for you that this is the same problem I had (if so,
then I already have a fix).

I've mailed a fix for this problem to the hackers list some time
ago, I should still have this email somewhere at home. If you
want to have this email, please send an email to my home address
(rene@freeze.iaf.nl).
The on-board sio can't handle incomming data when the baudrate is 
set. T-UUCP sets the baudrate for almost any byte it sends, so
nothing (or almost nothing) is received and T-UUCP fails.
The fix was very simple, just check if the baudrate were going to
set is the same as the current baudrate, if so don't set it, if
not set it (and some data can still be lost).
My private uucp link is now working with this patch installed and
I didn't have any more problems with the sio driver.
