Typically, dial-up modems are so much slower than lans (at least in my
experience) that the limiting factor is the modem.  I'm using an RT as
a terminal server, and I've written a simple program to allow me to
uucp through that rt to any system which runs uucpd.  I find that
using this arrangement (which splits the uucp load away from the
serial line management load) gives me higher throughput than a modem
attached directly to the other machine.  The lan seems insignificant.
Itis difficult to load it significantly at 1.5-3 kb/sec.

This was RT-135 to Trailblazer to Trailblazer to RT-115 to 4 mb/sec
token ring to RT-135.

The program is simple, and just transmits whatever odd sized package
it happens to recieve to the other end.
