I found http://www.eternal-september.org yesterday. It is free and seems to work pretty well. I don't like either of the programs I've tried in Linux to access it though: Evolution and Thunderbird. Evolution is slow and the setup is way more complicated than it needs to be. Thunderbird's UI is terrible. I would like to try slrn, but I haven't figured out how to set it up yet. There is also Claws Mail, but I haven't figured out how to set that up either. I just have to get the IIgs out I guess. :-)
