Having SCI on the network would be nice, but I don't see it happening
anytime soon because:

1.  Why should they?  They know you are going to make a toll call to get
    stuff from them anyway

2.  It would cost them to do it.

3.  Art Allen is a person somewhat lacking in clues who will send you
    a form letter to the effect of:

    Dear &Name

    Thank you for the la la la la la

    ...

    Though we understand that this enhancement would fulfill particular
    needs at your site, not enough customers would benefit from this
    enhancement to justify the development, testing, and documentation
    time it would take to integerate it into....

    etc etc

    Very truly yours

    Art Allen


I would settle for them just being on the internet through a mail
gateway.  That shouldn't cost them too heavily and we could mail them
with problems and they could mail us back stuff.

If you decide to follow up on this, get a track number and post it,
I'll call and add my name to the list.
