BinkleyTerm is designed for Single User Systems, like MS-DOS and OS/2

It is NOT designed for Unix... FOr Unix you need small, functional
programs.. Which would work in a way like 'uucico' does..

I will try and get NIXMAIL (An EMSI Mailer for POSIX Unix systems) out
this weekend..

I need to request a mailer product code before I can release it properly..
