uupc should run faster because it uses the std 3-window 'g' protocol, but I
believe Mac/gnuucp 4.3 does not use sliding windows (window size = 1).

"FernMail" which is a user-friendly mail reading interface to uupc (and gnuucp)
was recently posted to comp.binaries.mac. Nice work!

uAccess uses 3-window as well, AND does it in the background, AND it works
across AppleTalk (in fact, any comms toolbox connection tool). I was more than
happy to archive my copy of uupc.
