I use WinDIS 3.01 from ftp.demon.co.uk as a gateway, and MS Exchange/
MS Outlook as a client.

Configuring WinDIS can be a real pain, as it expects to install over
the DOS version, and fails quite horribly if the requisite directory
structure isn't present.

Create a structure like

WINDIS32
	LOG
	SPOOL
		ARTICLES
		MQUEUE
		MAIL
		NEWS
			ACTIVE
			GET
			HEADER
			HISTORY

then unzip WINDIS into the root, and kick it. There's a very good FAQ
in the WIN95 demon support forum on how to configure it, as well as a
quite good help file in the same location as WinDIS on the FTP site.

Drop me a line if you still have problems.
