MacUUPC is only capable of handling 8 bit wide data paths (as I believe
is the PC version also).  This is a limitation of UUPC.  Look toward
getting yourself set up with a nicer uucico engine.  For awhile I
was running SoftPC and the uucico engine that came with the PC BBS
system called Waffle (didn't run the BBS at all, just the protocol
handler, and used QUED/M scripts to hand craft spool files).

uAccess (was aka uMail), soon to be released, works just fine with
my 7 bit mail server.
