HEEEEEEELLLLLPPP!

My company has recently started doing business oversees in Germany and
Greece.  We've been supporting out software packages using dial-up lines
via Carbon Copy.  We're having an extremely hard time connecting via
modem oversees, so we're looking at alternate ways to xmit files over to
these remote machines.

One of the offices in Germany gave us a photocopied cover page to a package
called PC/Mailbox v4.0 - at the bottom it said 'GE INFORMATION SERVICES'
or something like that.  They say they are using this package there now.

Can anyone tell me what this thing is?  Is it a resident E-Mail system for
PC's or what?  Where can I get more information?

On the flipside, we'd like to be able to send files to these sites in 
Germany.  I'd like any suggestions about E-Mail services, dial-up 
servers, whatever that we here in the U.S. can do to support our 
systems in Germany...

E-Mail would be appreciated...
