Is there anything that could be run, say on top of the ISODE stack? Depends on what you mean by free. Sprint.COM is a gateway from the Internet into the Telemail Administrative Domain (ADMD). Sending into the Telemail ADMD is free to Internet users. (Telemail ADMD users get charged for outgoing mail.) While no technical issues prevent Sprint.COM from sending to non-Telemail ADMDs (e.g. BellSouth), accounting and billing issues do. The Commercial Mail Relay (CMR) has some rudimentary functions (i.e. they don't work for all cases) for handeling the SprintMail implementation of X.400 and has no restrictions on X.400 ADMDs. (Questions about the CMR should be sent to Intermail-Request@ISI.EDU.) If you were asking about getting the software itself, then the answer is probably no. Sprint is unlikely to want to give anything away and USC doesn't want to go through the red tape of getting an export license. -- Craig E.
