Your problems are over. Send some email to Quentin.Smart@bbs.actrix.gen.nz
and inquire about his WPO<->SMTP gateway he wrote. Its shareware, and I don't
know how much he charges for it, but it works, and I've seen it working. I've
even sent files through it from a VAX Vomit Making System running WPO, to a PC
charon gateway running SMTP.
