This touches on an area that I am now actively investigating for my organization. Namely, I would like to gateway much of my email traffic into things like Bell Canada's Envoy, Canada Post's paper mail service and FAX. I have found no commercial rfc822 compliant gateways for either of these as yet. I had not investigated attmail as it was indicated to me that it was a US only service. Does anyone know of FAX boards that are mungable into dealing with Internet Mail? Outgoing is the priority, but incoming would be great too. How about commercial gateways that can deal with *Canadian* email traffic? (ie they don't requite huge long distance bills and know about Envoy) Contact addresses and phone numbers would be most welcome. ---- Eric Carroll eric@ists.ists.ca Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science uunet!attcan!ists!eric
