Information Electronics of Ithaca, NY will be releasing a uucp compatible
product for the Mac in early Q1'90.  The IE product is designed to be used
as a Gateway/Bridge to CE Softwares QuickMail.  IE was origionally going
to release it as a standalone product (and may eventually do that) but made
the decision that it would be better to integrate it into existing Mac
services.  It allows mail to flow freely between UUCP and QuickMail sites.
Binary file transfers look like QuickMail file enclosures from the Mac side
and UUCP uusends from the UNIX side.  I believe that they plan to release
a shareware version that does not support binary files around Jan 1.  

The integration with QuickMail solves the Mac uucp interface problem.  I 
understand that the product price will be very reasonable.  For further
info you can write:

I can't remember all of their E-mail addresses off the top of my head.
I believe that they are currently accepting applications for Beta Users.
Only a very small number though.  They also will release a companion
to this product that supports...you guessed it Usnet News.
