Ronn, you are correct.  Austrailia has not been hooked into GEnie yet, but I
am working on them and I have forwarded your message directly to GEnie to show
that there is indeed interest in the land down under.

Typically, GEnie works through its own network and is not accessable on either
Telenet of Tymnet.  What they need is a local distributor who is willing to
service the customers.  So far, those arrangements have been made in Canada,
Japan, and Germany/Austria/Switzerland. However, I have also heard rumors that
they are going to hook into the Public Data Networks.  I am not sure, but your
PDN may actually be the OTC that you mentioned.  In which case, you may have
access very soon.  I will try to keep you informed.

Thanks for letting us know there is interest.  We will see if we can get
something done about it.

Stay tuned!   DaR
