  Why? All the meat is on the server (your box) not the customers. You
simply 'uuto' it to them once it is there. Are you saying that you run
such a wide spread of access machines? (UUPC??)
  You may want to chop large files into smaller (binary) files, and
this may require some thought as to the correct format to pick (and
how to verify integrity of each part), but would be an enhancement so
that 2meg tar.Z files can still be sent over a line which only stays
up for an hour at a time...

  Does uucp/uuto? Does uux?
