A reader called my attentiont o the WASVMIC5 part of this, which I had
missed somehow.  My previous answer is correct, IBMLINK is not available
from Internet, by mail or interactive session.  But the original append
also asks about WASVMIC5:  that is on VNET, not part of IBMLINK, and is
available by mail from Internet by domain wasvmic5.vnet.ibm.com.  If you
know who you want to communicate with there (or anywhere else in IBM, send
mail to nic@vent.ibm.com with whois lastname, first in the body of the note.
