Do you have access to archives of when Dr. Bob Rankin was still running the Accmail list? There was a huge amount of discussion then about Juno. When it first rolled out, it was free (no money from subscribers -- just adnvertising) -- well funded and promoted so it got *lots* of subs, and allowed email only -- no file transfers. 60k byte limit per message, and I think ... 100 messages per day? And it might have been limited to USA. It was a natural for accmailing techniques, and since so many beginners came in all at once, all with the same setup, there was a lot of basic teaching of chunk-size and UU encoding/decoding -- and problems & solutions unique to Juno users. A sister listserv was spawned, just for Juno-Accmail. After that Juno discussion in the parent Accmail list dropped off some -- probably to the relief of those who wanted to discuss other things and had been annoyed by the high Juno traffic! I think Juno started charging after a few years, and I haven't heard much since. I'll let others tell you what it is now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.
