But you (obviously) haven't tried Waffle yet!  Waffle provides UUCP mail
and Usenet Netnews for MS-DOS and Unix systems.  The MS-DOS variant is
shareware ($30) for the executables, and the MS-DOS or Unix sources are
available for $120.  Waffle version 1.65 provides full Usenet support; a
RN-like newsreader; UUCICO, UUXQT, UUCP, RNEWS, and RMAIL executables; can
provide a newsfeed for other sites; and can serve as a mail hub for other
UUCP sites.  (The shareware package is available on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
(or its mirrors) in file pd:<msdos.waffle>waf165.zip (or the equivalent
path on mirror sites).)

For more information, check out the newsgroup comp.bbs.waffle, where many
MS-DOS and Unix Waffle users and sysops will be glad to come to your aid.

(BTW, your posting was read (and this response generated) on a '386-25
running Waffle 1.65 under MS-DOS 5.0.)
