This week was EMA's regular meeting in LA which i got to go to and
hear about VIM vs MAPI API's and of course "wireless messaging".
Bill Frezza of GE/Ericsson (manufacturers of the Mobidem hand-held
commercial packet radio)
and I set our pc's on the grand piano outside the meeting room on
Monday at 10AM PST and sent personal mobile wireless email between two seperate
wireless messaging systems
RadioMail through Anterior's Gateway and PSILink through PSI's WirelessGateway.
TwoWay messaging back and forth. Heterogenous interoperability using
Internet technology (of course).

PS: Best statement during the adhoc demo - "You'd pay $5000 to Dan
Lynch at interop to use that Piano"
