Is there a way to get PROFS connected to unix mail - specifically
to a 3B2 or 386 machine running SysV?  Just to make matters worse,
the IBM doesn't run SNA and the unix machines don't have TCP/IP
(and there's no other reason to get either).  I do have a simple-minded
but fairly reliable file xfer between machines using kermit on
the unix machine to log into VM on the mainframe and transfer anything
sent to the reader queue.  What I'm really looking for is a way to
coax PROFS to punch output destined for another node into this queue.
Is it possible?  Is the format documented anywhere?
