My boss recently tasked me with locating the *optimal* package that would
provide the following functionality to our customers on a dial-up basis:

                         - Telnet
                         - FTP
                         - Mail reader service (a la POP, PCMAIL, IMAP)
                         - News reader 

We want to run this 'package' over either SLIP or preferably a class 6 packet 
driver thus not neccesitating the use of a dedicated on-site server.

The customers machines are DOS machines, which precludes a wide variety of
choices.

Is their anyone there who has had to solve a similar problem and can share  
their experiences and/or solutions. I will be happy to summarize for the net.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated (I should warn you that I am rather new 
to networking, my background being Naval Command and Control, thus I may 
appear to be somewhat lacking in brain cells).

You can get me at the E-mail address below. 

Good Day, Eh

Mark
