[net.micro.pc] PC-Based fron end to UNIX Mail

vxb@mhuxh.UUCP (BRADNER) (10/14/86)

Can anyone suggest a very easy to use pc-based (MSDOS) front
end to UNIX mail?

Personally, I prefer UNIX mail, but most of the users that I
support have a hard enough time with MSDOS and don't want to
log onto anything.  As a result they don't use electronic
mail.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions. The rest
should direct their comments to /dev/null.

     Thanks - Vern Bradner (ihnp4!mhuxh!vxb)

If I had $335 to spare, I'd be on my phone ordering Lauren
Weinstein's UULINK package -- hoping that it will really do all
his fact sheet (posted recently to net.micro.pc) promises. It 
sounds great. Here's a summary:

   o	Full UUCP implementation under MS-DOS
   o	Mail and Netnews Generation/Handling
	(supports both UUCP and Internet formats)
   o	Scheduler for both UUCP/Mail and local tasks
   o	Remote Dial-in access to the PC

Call Lauren at (213) 390-3920.
