Phil -

A gross simplification is that it is a Unix-like intersystem communication
tool. It is complex, a bit weird to setup, requires a hard disk, a dedicated
modem line, and a lot of patience. OS9/Unix wizardry is also a plus.

Basically, it mails (and receives from) other systems via the modem. It is the
backbone of a multi-site (thousands) multi-system network called USENET, among
other things.
