For 9500 users.  Apple plans to distribute an updated ROM which includes
OT 1.0.6 (apparently not 1.0.7) at the end of September (which means that
it's probably being pressed about now).  Order yours today; 1 (800)
769-2775

Rumor has it that the OT team is concentrating on getting the peripheral
functions, such as multihomeing working rather than working to get OTTCP
stable and compatible.  I would not expect to see OT 1.0.8 out for some
time if at all.

That's just it... MacTCP works with Eudora 2.1.3 and Guy's Emailer, but
not Anarchie 1.6.0 (although it *does* work with A1.4.0) and several other
Internet Apps.  Netscape's email (mailto:) function works with OT, showing
that somehow OT *can* talk to SMTP (which is where Eudora & Emailer fail
on me.)

I have several partitions and systems for the various internet activities.

I, for one, hope that they don't.  They most defiantly do not have my
confidence. (Sorry GH)
