Recently there was an info-appletalk posting about Mailstop - a POP2/SMTP
mail-server and I was curious about scenario 3:

Could we use a Mac II running A/UX 2.0 as the Unix machine, and keep everyone
on localtalk? <Can you run MacTCP on A/UX?>  Will this then mean that the Mac
II will be intelligent enough to store and forward UUCP mail to POPMail-boxes,
as well as other <dial-up>Unix hosts? What about Macs being able to receive
<and read> USENET news?
