uAccess runs in the background under MultiFinder on the Macintosh
without many difficulties. On a IIfx (68030 x 30Mhz) I do Telebit
speeds in the background all the time and get roughly 1330 cps
throughput (please no cps-rate wars). On the lowly MacPlus (68000
x 8MHz) I can do 2400 baud rates without a hitch, but I have no info
on Telebit speeds for the MacPlus.

Therefore, I would think with the proper horse power, one could do
Windows UUCP in the background.
