- I am fairly new to the sgi platform, so forgive me if this is a FAQ. I am
- surprised that with all the great graphical user interface software on the
- Indigo, the utilities manual still advocates the unix "Mail" program for
- reading and sending mail. Surely someone has a GUI mailing program out
- there. If nothing else, I would be willing to use elm (is it public
- domain?)--but Mail??!?!
-
- I would also be interested in a GUI news reader.
-
- If anyone has GUI programs to do either of these things, I would greatly
- appreciate hearing about it.
-
- Also, I would like nifty GUI interfaces to the following if they are
- available:
-
- ftp
- telnet
- WAIS
- Gopher
- talk
- IRC
-
- Any help would be appreciated. If there are good sgi applicable anonymous
- ftp sites, please let me know where they are.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Clarke
