No, BITNET users do not normally have FTP access. And no, being on Internet guarantees NOTHING about your mail reader. For one thing, not all the Internet's a UNIX system. Some are VMS or VM (CMS) systems which don't run the same mail software as UNIX systems. Also, at some sites (such as andrew.cmu.edu, where I am) use specialized or custom mail software. -------------------- Jeffrey Hutzelman America Online: JeffreyH11 Internet: jh4o+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: JHUTZ@DRYCAS >> Apple // Forever!!! <<
