Whose PROFS system? PROFS is a IBM licensed product for VM that
can be run on any 370/390 architecture supporting VM. If you're
asking about a *gateway* to allow PROFS users to correspond with
Internet users, then yes, such a thing exists.
You should look at the PROFS Extended Mail Gateway from IBM
and/or PUMP. PUMP eats PROFS notes and regurgitates RFC-compliant
mail, and vice versa, in concert with the Columbia/Princeton
MAILER code. Send mail to PUMP-L@PUCC.princeton.edu and that list
should be able to tell you where to get it.
Good luck. Internet mail from PROFS is not really very nice;
PROFS wasn't ever designed to deal with it and it isn't very
graceful about it.
