Thank you, Dr. Herb, for your reply.

I can see your points have merit.  I had not been affected in this way, but
I can see that there is the potential for problems.

My query was about messaging.  If I am correct, you have a relationship that
exists between each GP and the specialist serving that GP.  If they use a
particular messageing system - why should I care?  Surely the relationship
is effectively on a message-by-message basis - the message is encoded and
transmitted, the message is received and decoded - end of relationship until
the next message.  There is little or no data "held" in any proprietary
format.  There may be a few messages that cannot be accessed, but I have a
fax machine for this reason - same as if my broadband goes down (Doesn't
happen in Auckland much, but we are a few klms away and things are not so
good).

So - for messaging only - why should I care?

I understant that Telstra are not ideal in Australia, but Telecom here
aren't that bad.

Thank you,

Angus
