: Yes, you can use UUCP which can pass news and e-mail.

Hmmm, it would solve my problems, but has two drawbacks.  My connection
wouldn't be transparent and I know (and am not that interested in finding

The London machine with the modem has uucp, but I don't think the ops
people would appreciate me making it active anyway.
