We're trying to replace a 24 high pile of modems concentrated to a T1 line.
Currently the Store software uses a script invoking uucp to call the home
office and transfer the data. Simple, clean, efficient (except for the
hardware pile). How can this be done using the cyclades unit?

You don't.  Instead you establish a PPP connection and then use ftp
(which can be routed entirely through a private intranet for security)
to transfer files to a given host.
