Does anyone know of a mail program out there as freeware which allows Macs 
with ethernet access to read their mail from a unix server without leaving
the Mac environment?  The idea is that the user would only have to double-
click on an icon, and get his/her mail without having to run NCSA Telnet
or MacIP, etc. and having to know unix commands, however simple.

Another application we are looking for is "ping" capability, either in 
conjunction with the above program, or standalone.  And any other nifty
kinds of utilities that we could distribute to professors who are going
to soon be ethernetted and macified.

Thanks.
