Let's start with a massive disclaimer:  the product I'm about to
recommend is not only sold by my employer, it's written, maintained,
and supported by my group.

AT&T Mail PMX/STARMail is one of the e-mail products AT&T sells for
MS-DOS PCs.  It can tie together PCs with a DOS server running StarLAN,
3 Com, PC Network, and . . . um, at least one other LAN, but I can't
remember which one off hand.  We also sell versions for a Novell
server, or a 3B2 or 6386 UNIX(R) server.

It can also tie LANs together, and tie LANs to the AT&T Mail service
and UNIX-based systems.  The STARMail server can talk over an async
line, using a simple protocol called DDCP.  (Any relation to UUCP is
greatly limited by available memory!  Sorry, it didn't fit.)  We offer
PMX/STARGate, DDCP software for 3B2s and 6386s running UNIX System V;
it's not a separate product, just ask for it when you order
PMX/STARMail.

If your UNIX based system isn't a 3B2 or a 6386 (other 386's are
complicated; send e-mail and I'll explain), PMX/STARMail will still be
able to exchange e-mail with the AT&T Mail service, and the service can
talk to any system that knows UUCP.

To order PMX/STARMail, to register a UNIX-based system with AT&T Mail,
or for more information, please call the AT&T Mail Customer Assistance
Center, 1-800-MAIL-672.  (There's a non-800 number, but I don't have it
handy, sorry.)
