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.
