I'm sending this message to the above distribution because I think that
some one in this group will be able to answer my question.

I will be purchasing a MacIntosh(with an Apple 1200 modem) in the near
future. I would like to know if there is, or will be (in the near
future), any way that an individual, with out a lot of money or hardware
, can use the MacIntosh to access the ARPA network or UUCP? Ideally, one
would be able to do this without using the resources of their employer
who may be part of the network. I feel that the potential that Mac has
for this application is one of it's great strengths.  

I am a physical scientist, not a CS expert. So, I would appreciate
answers/solutions to my question that are understandable to one without
intimate knowledge of Mac's( or any computer's) inner workings. I would
also encourage individuals at Apple to respond. Of course, a ready made
software package (reasonably priced) would be the most palatable
solution for me.

Thanks for your help.
