- No way! I just switched from WAFFLE 1.65 to UUPC/extended with SNEWS and it
- blows the doors (pardon the pun) off of Waffle. The uucico with uupc
- has the same throughput as waffle's and is much more error tolerant in a
- multitasking environment. Unless the next version of waffle screams, I will
- stick with uupc.
