Subject:    MUSH for DOS?

Is there a version of MUSH for DOS?  Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong
place or if I am asking what seem to be stupid questions.  However, I am
completely new to the RFC-822 game.  All I want to do is get mail and news
running on my handy-dandy MS-DOS PC.  I've heard of Mush, UUPC, and Waffle.
I haven't managed to locate Mush, so I don't really know if it's what I want.
UUPC does not offer any type of news interface that I can see.  That leaves
me with Waffle, which seems extremely primitive to me.  Isn't there anything
that is more friendly than what I've been able to find?  I've gotten used to
things like Me2, Opmed, MaxEd, MsgEd, etc. on PCs interfacing with FidoNet
and I can't really understand why the user interfaces for working with
RFC-822 mail and news seem to be so primitive.  After all, this stuff has
been around a lot longer than FidoNet technology has.

Am I just looking in the wrong place?  What should I be looking for?

Your advice is VERY much appreciated.  Thank you.
