I am new to DJGPP and Internet e-mail and newsgroups; but here are my 2
cents.  Isn't DJGPP for MS-DOS based systems that don't generally have access
to Internet, and if they do, their access is limited.   For example:
Compuserve only provides e-mail access, but does not provide Usenet news
access.  Compuserve is widely used by MS-DOS systems.

Is there a way to have both?  The idea is that news would be automatically
forwarded to a mail alias and those folks that needed e-mail access would be
associated with the mail alias.  Any e-mail sent to the mail alias would be
forward to the newsgroup.
