Actually, there are billy-uns.

InterCon has a commercial one.
Stanford has MacMH.
MIT has TechMail.
NASA has one (MacPOP?).
A Swedish University (I think) produces MacPost.
UIUC has Eudora.

All of these programs will work with MacTCP (or so I am led to believe).

InterCon's can do SLIP over dialups.  Eudora can do dialups, but does so
sans protocol; this is fine for normal mail, but can be a problem if
you want to transfer documents (I suggest people with such needs use
error-correcting modems).  I don't know about the others.

Unfortunately, I do not have contact information on any of these except
Eudora, which you get by anonymous ftp to ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, in the mac/eudora
subdirectory.

A year and a half of my life is invested in Eudora, so I will refrain from
posting my opinions.
