	I've been tasked to come up with a means of batch transferring
files between our UNIX platform and remote PC's on a scheduled basis.
Since my experience is primarily (but not exclusively) with UNIX, I'm
at something of a loss.

	Connectivity would probably be initiated by the PC's, though
we're open to all ideas. The link will involve asynchronous connection
through a packet switch network, but that shouldn't be a problem as long
as the solution allows one to tailor the connection sequence. The PC
could certainly support Desqview/386 or Windows 3.0, though I'm unaware
of any job scheduling capabilities in those packages.

	A commercial package will be considered provided it follows
"PC pricing" (that is, not too expensive). We currently support ckermit 
and uucp on the UNIX side, and intend to check out the PD implementations
of UUCP for DOS.

	Please email your suggestions. I'll summarize if mail indicates
interest. Thanks in advance.
