Ted I would argue e-mail and the Internet still are and always have been separate systems. One is a network and the other an application. It is well known that e-mail systems were around a long time before the Internet became common. There was a system called Fidonet that used all kinds of networks including satellite and packet radio as well as dial up for linking.
I think most will agree that UNIX with native networking and e-mail apps really enabled the Internet and e-mail as we know it today. Add a browser app and you had the web. 73, Fred, AE6QL > >The most significant development, which some folks today don't remember or >never knew, is that e-mail and the Internet began as separate systems. >> >Ted, KN1CBR > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
