Specifically, ethernet on an IBM mainframe running VM/CMS. The requirement
is to use Quickmail to send / receive internet mail via the mainframe.
The department concerned is on a low budget and can't afford to put all
the Macs on ethernet. I'd appreciate answers to some questions:

1. what is the cheapest ethernet / localtalk link?
2. what software is needed for QuickMail to interface to TCP/IP?
3. what is the best setup for creating a mail / telnet server, given this
   hardware
4. can this stuff be bought mail order - if so where?

Please e-mail. If there is interest, I'll summarize.
