DEC corporate email had a gateway to the Arpanet pretty early on. By the time I left DEC in '83 (to go to Apollo), UUCP mail (and bangpaths) were pretty widespread through the high-tech community. Unlike DEC, though, Apollo didn't have a full-time connection; mail (and usenet news groups) were handled over a dial-up line! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
