I see in the sumex archives that there are several applications
to link macs to unix machines.  I primarily use UNIX to receive
mail and read news.  My account is charged (fake money) according
to how much I use it, and the allotment is $75/week.  When I do
file transfers, this quickly runs out.

What are some applications that I can use to minimize the time
that I am connected to the host?  I've seen Mews, multi xfer,
and a few others.  What do I need to run these?  Sometimes 
something called MacTCP is referred to, what is it?

Thanks for any help...
