This post originated from an MS-DOS machine.  The software is called
Waffle. The release is 1.64.  This is one fine piece of shareware!

Waffle will connect, uucp style, with most any machine that speaks
uucp. It does netnews and email.  It works for me.

You may get waffle from it's author, Tom Dell.  Send him mail at 
  
  waffle@darkside.com

Ask for current terms and conditions.

I have no financial interest in Waffle, other than having paid Tom
Dell his registration fee.
