Hi all,

I'm using Eudora as my mail system on an ethernet Unix system and I just love
it, because it puts the friendly  Macintosh interface onto my mail system.

It is supposed to work with a modem as well, except that I can't seem to quite
get into my university.  I only get so far, and then I run into a roadblock
probably because my Eudora needs some ResEdit surgery to make the proper
connection with our Unix mail system. As it stands now, Eudora is setup to 
work with a Cisco system, but the manual says that it could easily be modified
to work with just about any Unix system.  My problem, is that I don't really
know what I'm doing with ResEdit.  

I'm looking for a ResEdit guru, who also knows a lot about communications and 
Unix.  If I could get this problem solved, it would make a lot of people happy
at the University of Manitoba.  Presently we have to use ELM ugghhh.  And that
means those damn primitive "text editors" that give you almost no text editing
capabilities, unless you are willing to jump through a couple of thousand 
learning hoops.  All I really want is a friendly mail system that works like 
a mini word processor, and Eudora does just that.  It actually brings my mail
right to my mac.  The program is the nicest program that I've ever seen on a 
Macintosh - period!!!!

If anyone can help me with this problem, I would be most appreciative.

Garry
