Yeah Barry, but that is a lot better than just getting their
'administrators' id. And besides, what's wrong with e-mail,
when you and I can send/recieve graphics, sound, ftp - and
further I can, and do, port that UUCP, Fido, and Point disk
protocol all the way to the lowliest pc and modem in the
hands of the have-nots in rural, ghetto, and Rogers Bar
America...Its only *some* people that think if you don't
have TCP/IP you don't have nuthin....
