This is not true. Both Miami (the protocol stack) and MiamiInit (the
configuration program for starters) use MUI. Miami needs MUI for many
things, including the dialer, configuration, and to view/change runtime
settings.
In case you are worried: MUI does definitely *not* slow down the
protocol stack in any way. The device handler, protocol stack kernel,
and MUI interface are located in three separate tasks, so none of the
protocol stack routines, SLIP/PPP routines or clients/servers ever has
to wait for a MUI layout to finish.
