Subject: Can PC Pine talk to UNIX Pine?

We have fifty users out in the field with laptops.  I need to give these 
users access to Internet e-mail.  Inside, we use Pine 3.91 and have an 
Internet connection.  Pine is running on a Data General Aviion box.

Is it possible to load PC pine on the laptops and have the users dial
in and pickup and deliver e-mail?  I would set up user accounts for
each field users and have a script automatically log them in and 
exchange mail and hangup.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on whether this can be done?  Thanks.

We have a comparable setup, but we are using Kendra's UUPC (a UUCP 
implementation for DOS). We also want to use PC-Pine as the MUA, 
therefore I posted twice on this list. Unfortunately nobody gave a 
response until now. If somebody on this Pine list knows how to use 
PC-Pine with UUPC, please respond.

We like the setup with UUCP, because we don't have to setup interactive
accounts (logins) for each user. All PC's login anounymously through one
accountname (normally uucp or nuucp on Unix), and addressing is done by
assigning a name to each PC and the user of it. 

Is this that special and difficult, or are you all to shy to respond to a 
frendly Dutchman :-)

Cheers, Nico
