I'll second that. Van-bc logs 200+ hours a week of uucp traffic on four lines. 

We have *NEVER* had uucp get stuck since we installed the 386 with SCO last
winter.

We have had minor problems finding a multi-port serial card that would work
with modem control. But that's not a Unix problem. And the SCO Async driver
has always functioned flawlessly on the builtin serial ports.
