Yep. Actually we do have both an AARNet mail affiliate connection (soon to be upgraded to fully connected/associate member status (like in the next 5 years. :-()) and a X.400 x.25 link to Telecom's Keylink service. The AARNet connection is available only to the Department's Information services division as a matter of policy. The X.400 keylink service is under evaluation and even when it is made fully operational it's use will be restricted, mainly due to cost. (keylink charges like a wounded bull) The NH&MRC does not have access to either system at the moment. Carl Makin Postmaster, AARNet Link. -- Carl Makin, MVS/ESA Systems Programmer, VAX/VMS Dabbler.
