Can that stream based asy port be used for uucp? For cu? Any special
configuration fiddling? 

The best would be - if I just could run something like "slconfig -detach", 
or whatever, and the port would become free for cu, uucp, etc...  And of 
course, when I need SLIP -  I want to be able to do smth like "slattach"
and be off with it...Does it provide such capabilities?

It isn't too hard to be better than your 3.2 SLIP (:-).
