  I was wondering if somebody could fill me in on a few things about e-mail.  
  I would like to be able to send e-mail ( maybe even read news ) directly from
  my PC.  I have obtained UUPC-INT.ZIP and set it up as per the directions, but 
  I have no idea how to get a qualified address or mail/news feed.  I have also 
  looked at establishing a Fidonet point and have all the files necessary, but 
  I'd like to know how UUPC and Fido compare - any recommendations ?


        Thanks for any help ...     Fred!
