I downloaded the version posted to comp.binaries.mac dated 10/9/89
(article 26983@dhw68k.cts.com).  It was posted by Sak Wathanasin
(sw%nan.uucp@ukc.ac.uk).  I don't know if that's the one on SUMEX, but
the article did say "Approved: Info-Mac@Sumex-aim.stanford.edu".

It definintely works; I experimented with it, and I have a user polling
my 3B1 (Sys V UNIX with HDB UUCP) regularly from his Mac Plus 
(cboard!zaphod!cjr@oswego.oswego.edu).  The only problem I'm aware of
is that he can't get it to work reliably at 2400 baud - at 1200 baud
there are no problems and he typically gets 110 bytes/sec throughput.

I would be interested in hearing about any new versions, or comments from
anyone else who uses UUPC...
