Thanks for the reply... the source for Eudora will definitely be neat to look through. Thanks!

But thus far I haven't found a simple way to get my SE on the network, and the only computer I have around my SE is my iMac which doesn't have a serial port and I'm sure setting-up a PPP server on it that may work with the SE if I could get a USB to Serial adapter might be a large undertaking in of itself. Also it seems the SE/30 systems on EBay and elsewhere are WAY too much for my pocketbook. There was a time when I'd see these systems for $50 plus shipping or even free, but either they've all gone to collectors or one article I read mentioned the classic Mac's shot-up in value after Jobs' death which is odd since the SE and most of the late 80's were created when Jobs was a NeXT. I even went by our local Goodwill Computer Works store to see if they might have a classic computer section, but the guy at the front desk said anything that's not newer goes directly to the recycle bin which is sad to see.

So I'll continue to hover until I can get the hardware to get into the Classic Mac scene, but in the meantime I'll review some of the source code just incase I do have a chance to do some classic mac coding :)
