Does anyybody know anything about PMX/Term from AT&T?

[Bill Mayhew]

Hi people,

I've been on vacation, so I've been somewhat behind in  catching
up on reading, Usenet, etc.  I just got around to looking at the
June 6 issue of Info World.  On page 19, they describe some stuff
related to AT&T Mail (that is, the service that bears that proper
name).  One related thing they mention is:

"AT&T also announced PMX/Term, a PC version of its Unix-based
electronic mail system for minicomputers.  PMX/Term runs on AT&T
6386 WGS PCs and MS-DOS compatibles, will be available in July and
costs $1,295."


Sounds pretty good, except for the price.  Seems like buying Unix
for the WGS is a better deal, because one could get the O/S and
development tools for about that price.  Unix, of course, provides
mailx and uucp.  Essentailly one would be getting Unix for free.
I guess the other alternative other than the uupc public domain
program is Lauren Weinstein's uulink.  Last I heard, it was around
$400, but wasn't too great in the documentation department.

Can anybody elaborate on PMX/Term?...
