How ironic that these two messages showed up one after the other.  ProLine BBS
($195.50 from Living Legends Software) does both.  It runs on the II+, //e,
and IIGS, requiring at least 5mb and a Hayes-compatible or AppleCat modem.

It can also send and receive mail through UUCP sites running pnet (People-Net,
a networking conference system similar to ProLine.)  There is no direct UUCP
link between the Apple and the Unix machine though.
