AT&T Mail also offers (unlike, I believe, MCI Mail) a UUCP connection for AT&T Mail services. This means there is no on line charges whatsoever. No special software is required. No user interaction with AT&T Mail is required. One account shows detailed user message accounting (all system users are identified). If there are other systems involved with a customer, the one account can handle them as well. There are fifteen people who have access to my single AT&T Mail account and sorting the charges out is no problem whatsoever. This means that the one $30/yr fee is really $2/yr. Combine that with a lack of any on line charges and it turns out to be pretty reasonable. John Higdon | P. O. Box 7648 | +1 408 723 1395 john@bovine.ati.com | San Jose, CA 95150 | M o o !
