Hiya, Mr. Starta. I've seen you on AOL a few times...

I asked the CS Manager about gateways in general for AOL e-mail. I also asked
him about specific links to specific networks. He said there were none at the
current time. I responded by outlining just what was to be gained by connecting
to some kind of UNIX mail site (uucp, internet, bitnet, compuserve, mci mail,
applelink... The list goes on, all in a monthly posting in various places on
the net). The CS Manager said he'd passed the info on to the programmers and
that they were working on it... My impression, though, is that they have
their hands full fixing all the cosmetic bugs in the AOL terminal software.
We'll have to see.
