As an alternative, you might look into AT&T's StarMail, which I
understand runs on (certain) 3Com LAN versions.  Combined with their
AccessPlus (on the PC) and PMX (on 3Bs) software, gateways are provided
(I hear) for both "normal" UNIX mail and the ATTMAIL "cloud".  

I have not spoken to anyone who has it running on a 3Com LAN, but it 
might provide the solution you are looking for.  At least in a "pure"
AT&T hardware environment, the products provide a consistent user
interface for both PC and terminal users, binary attachments, etc.
