Near as I can tell, the terminals supported is built into the client (ie, the
ST or MAC end of the uw connection), not the server.

For expample, the latest MAC version supports ADM31, ANSI, TEK4014 (or close),
and a couple others, while the latest ST version supports only the ADM31.

The server end (which will only run under BSD 4.2 or greater Unix, since it
requires sockets), manages the output from several processes, multiplexes
this output so that the client knows which window to output it to.  It acts
as a kind of director for the output of all of its child processes.  Up
to seven windows can be active at once.

The latest MAC version of UW supports a few nifty things that the ST version
does not -- it gives the server end more control over the windows, allowing
for titling, resizing, etc, at the program end.

For a copy of the Unix end, it was posted to comp.sources.mac a month or so
ago.  Check a local archive to see if anyone nearby saved it.
