We have just added an email gateway to our site, which effectively
increases the potential number of Internet email users by a factor of
twenty or so.

The trouble is, of course, most of these users don't have logins on
the system advertised as 'kronos.com' on Internet.  If someone out in
the World at Large tries to use finger to learn someone's email
address here, they're probably out of luck.  The standard finger server
provided by the O/S vendor (in this case, IBM) does not provide info
unless the user has a login.  And it'd be crazy for us to hand out
accounts to all our employees on our Internet gateway system:  the
system would be wide-open to password crackers.

Ages ago, I used a TOPS-20 program called "watson" for this purpose.
What's out there nowadays?  In order for our users to update their own
info, they'd have to have some sort of platform-independent interface
(probably email) into the database.
