After whispering about a few of the benefits of email connections to the outside world into a few shell-like ears, I find myself in the enviable position of having to write a proposal on the subject. While I am comfortably familiar with the technical side of things, I'm not entirely certain what upper-level management wants to hear. We are a small (100 people or less) subsidiary with a focus on customer support, and I envision email -- and possibly UseNet -- access as an inexpensive supplement to telephones and faxen. I am currently looking at UUCP and a low-speed modem, as I don't feel I can justify the cost of an Internet connexion. We have a little-used HP box which would be the mail hub, and the company currently has a homebrew version of email on a non-Unix platform (Pick, if you *must* know). Any ideas, suggestions, &c. would be greatly appreciated. --Dawn
