If you get a subscription to it (for $30 per year, I think, plus usage-sensitive fees) then you can send and receive e-mail. It is gatewayed to Usenet. You can use a dumb terminal (or a PC emulating a dumb terminal) or you can register a UNIX machine as an AT&T Mail node. The transport mechanism, in the latter case, is uucp. You can also send text to fax machines, and you can listen to your mailbox using a voice telephone, using their text-to-speech capability. To subscribe, or to get more information, call 1-800-672-MAIL. Dave Levenson Voice: (201) 647 0900 Westmark, Inc.
