[comp.mail.misc] Cost effective e-mail

bachovch@sjuphil.uucp (Jeffrey J. Bachovchin) (04/18/91)

I am in the process of looking for a more cost effective method of e-mail
to off site locations.  Currently, we are using CSNET, which dials in to
our Sun 4/490 3 or 4 times a day.  Running in this manner costs use about
$13,000 to $15,000 a year with the amount of traffic as of late.  This is
on the way up, too.  I need to find a cheaper way to send mail to off site 
locations that is faster, and more reliable, than UUCP.  We currently are
not part of any net such as PREPnet or ARPANET etc.  Would this possibly
be a more cost effective way to go?  

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff
