Performance wise, it might have been the first "steaming" protocol :-) All it
was concerned about was 1) don't send anything that looks like a PAD escape sequence,
2) just send bytes at the link.
The idea was that the PAD would flow control the session, so uucico just went into dumb

Maybe its the same one, but I remeber a special UUCP protocol which had its
MTU and timeouts carefully adjusted to get the best performance across X25.
'f' protocol. It encoded everything into printable ASCII characters to avoid
triggering any PAD escape sequence.
