I cannot use IRC from here. Bummer. I can, however, use FN. It seems to be a fairly nice system. I don't use it much but it works fine on our Vax 8530 running VMS and hooked to internet & bitnet (you can FTP and send mail to internet nodes but you can only 'SEND uid@host' to Bitnet addresses). Since it appears that FN is at least available to anyone who wants it (via anonymous ftp), I would rather have chat on FN. (ForumNet) Warning, FN is not 'download and go'. You have to compile it, make some directories, do some file copying, some editing. It helps to have an idea of what you are doing (or have a mentor like I did). You might also think about RELAY on bitnet. I can get to it by SEND RLY@CORNELLC (and then /SIGNON me) There are various nodes across the country if you are on a bitnet host. Again, this may not work for people who are only on internet (hmm, SEND RLY@CORNELLC.CCS.CORNELL.EDU might work. I dunno) Just my thoughts. As for our distinguished guests, we may be able to acquire.... dlyons@apple.com (Dave Lyons) mattd@apple.com (Matt Deatherage) andyn@apple.com (Andy Nicholas [I think this is his addr]) Of course all of the 'regulars' are perfectly welcome also. (I don't want to be in hot water by forgetting to mention someone ) Heck, how about sculley@applelink.apple.com (Guess who..) I am sure he would love to come and tell us EXACTLY what he wants to do with the Apple II. And we can tell him EXACTLY where he can go! -- Joel Sumner GENIE:JOEL.SUMNER These opinions are q4kx@cornella.ccs.cornell.edu q4kx@cornella warranted for 90 days or q4kx@vax5.cit.cornell.edu q4kx@crnlvax5 60,000 miles. Whichever .................................................... comes first. Never test for an error condition that you can't handle.
