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.
