Great idea, and thanks for volunteering to be curator.

For the moment I'm looking for Apple Macintosh application software that
will simulate UNIX's uucp.  I'd like to get my system on the net without
having to install A/UX.

I'd want to have the application software be able to call up a couple
of hosts -- with their prior permision, of course -- and transfer email,
news groups message and any other file transfers just like UNIX uucp
does.

Does anyone know of any software that will do this?  Please address
all responses directly to me.  I'll sumarize.
