In article <353@sdti.SDTI.COM> I write:
> QuickRemote seems to have something to do with mail, modems, and connecting

My query turned up these facts:
QuickRemote is part of CE Software's QuickMail package, and is also sold
separately. QuickRemote lets you dial in to the mail server running
QuickMail and remotely send and retrieve mail, for instance from home.
QuickRemote in itself has nothing to do with Unix mail.

A product called Mail*Link from StarNine provides a bridge via Ethernet
between Macs running QuickMail and Unix Mail.

Someone (identity unknown) is said to be working on a modem link between
QuickMail and Unix (UUCP).  (If you are reading, here's a potential
beta tester.)  This is what I really had been hoping for.

For responding to my query, thanks to:

   David Tames, Apple Computer
