mail based servers of all kinds exist and are proliferating because they serve useful purposes! They are able to reach to places which no other protocol can reach. For instance Bob suggested that people should use UUCP to pay for their own access to archives. That's a good idea .. but what if the archive is on an IBM machine on BITNET? No UUCP access there... I think that this situation will always exist -- that some parts of the network will always be hard-to-reach, but that e-mail will always reach those places. Therefore this trend will continue. Also the archive sites you can dial up to don't necessarily archive whatever it is you're interested in getting. Different archives have different sets of interest. -- <- David Herron, an MMDF & WIN/MHS guy, <david@twg.com> <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <david@ms.uky.edu> <- <- Sign me up for one "I survived Jaka's Story" T-shirt!
