I seem to recall someone mentioning in this group that they had
developed a nice email interface for uupc [sic] on the mac.

I just installed uupc V2.1 on my home mac (got it from
rascal.ics.utexas.edu; nice archive site). It looks like it uses a 3
window g protocol. I was getting transfer speeds of 213 char/s at 2400
bd, which frankly blows away gnuucp ( < 100 char/s over the same link;
sorry Jim). Sure was nice watching the TX light get pegged on my
modem. The problem I have is that pc mail, the mail interface included
with uupc, is quite brain dead. It looks like a port of unix /bin/mail
to the mac.

I thought about trying to modify the mail stack from gnuucp to
interface with uupc, but I don't think this could be made to work. Are
there any (freeware or shareware) solutions to this problem out there?
Anyone have one in the works?

Thanks,

-John
