Perhaps I'm missing something important, but I find it very difficult to understand how anyone can claim to have "gotten the scoop" on a bit of information which was announced to the entire Usenet plus the entire subscribership of info-nets@think.com some 6+ weeks ago. Of course, I also failed to understand why the existence of the gateway appeared in a "rumors" column (PCWeek) _after_ that same announcement. So perhaps I'm a bit slow. Or perhaps I just don't understand things that are ugly and media-marketing-like (with apologies for the redundancy). --Karl Gateway instigator
