Mark, MicroPro has been on the net for a couple years, using two old
Pixel 100/AP machines, and three Cosmos Antares systems.  Cosmos went
out of business, and the machines are being retired.  There is no support
for using or having any UNIX systems in the company.  One of the two
Pixel systems is being canabalized to keep one Pixel in operating order.
A few of us keep that Pixel running in our spare time.

The only people in the company willing and able to attempt UNIX mail are
about a half-dozen programmers.  The rest of the company has switched to
EtherMail (cough) or MCI mail.

Unfortunately, this $50/year fee is going to mean that we pool together
some personal money, or survive without an entry in the UUCP map.
