Keywords: supposed to be Unix mail for ms-dos.. Message-ID: <1261@neoucom.UUCP> Date: 22 Jun 88 04:27:12 GMT Organization: Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine Lines: 27 Hi people, I've been on vacation, so I've been somewhat behind in catching up on reading, Usenet, etc. I just got around to looking at the June 6 issue of Info World. On page 19, they describe some stuff related to AT&T Mail (that is, the service that bears that proper name). One related thing they mention is: "AT&T also announced PMX/Term, a PC version of its Unix-based electronic mail system for minicomputers. PMX/Term runs on AT&T 6386 WGS PCs and MS-DOS compatibles, will be available in July and costs $1,295." Sounds pretty good, except for the price. Seems like buying Unix for the WGS is a better deal, because one could get the O/S and development tools for about that price. Unix, of course, provides mailx and uucp. Essentailly one would be getting Unix for free. I guess the other alternative other than the uupc public domain program is Lauren Weinstein's uulink. Last I heard, it was around $400, but wasn't too great in the documentation department. Can anybody elaborate on PMX/Term?... --Bill impulse!wtm@neoucom.UUCP <- temporary email address
