Hello to all of those E-mail gurus out in net land.

I am trying to set up my PC as a UUCP site and exchange mail with a
another local UUCP/INTERNET site, most likely running a unix based system.

My hard disk equipped PC is running MS-DOS (what else did you expect) 
and I have a 1200 baud Hayes compatible modem.  So...I'm looking for 
DOS based communication software that can exchange E-mail/USENET-News 
with UUCP hosts.  I'm certain that such software must exist (although if 
it doesn't, please tell me).

Assuming of course that such software does in fact exist...where do find
it???  Is it public domain??? And how sophisticated is it????

Thanks in Advance

p.s. Suggestions to the effect of: "get XENIX or some other PC based unix"
     are unacceptable.  I need something that will work in DOS.
