Does anyone know of a Hypercard stack news reader/email reader that
allows one to use serial communications (that is, a modem) to connect with
the host/server?

All the news readers I've seen, while using Hypercard, require a network
connection (no modems need apply).  While I have access to Macs hooked to a
network, my bosses would frown on such uses for company machines.

The email readers have mostly been the same...Eudora is an exception, but
it isn't Hypercard....(and I can't get it to work anyway).

I'd try to hack one up myself, but when I even think about it, I am VERY
aware of my LACK of knowledge to make such a thing work....

Any help/pointers/etc. would be appreciated....
