We do it for rates <= 2400 bps.  Our Telebit modems work okay through a
DS200 for interactive work at the high speeds (192Kbps) provided you
don't print too much to the screen at once, but we've not gotten UUCP
to work at the fast speeds.  We're running a DS200 into a DS5400
running Ultrix 3.1C.  When we upgrade to Ultrix 4.1 I'll try again,
but rumour has it this just won't work:

Or maybe I'll just give up and put a serial card in the 5400.
