The reply was quite blunt: > Sir, > EasyLink does not have a connection to Internet. > Thank You > Reggie > ATTHELP AT&T's EasyLink unit must be working on a gateway, but obviously the help desk people aren't saying anything about it. (If anybody hears anything definitive about such a gateway, please post the information here.) [Modertor's Note: AT&T Mail itself can be reached from the Internet by addressing letters to the subscriber's name @attmail.com. I assume if there is *some* gateway between AT&T Mail and EasyLink it could be reached by clever addressing, but I don't know the gateway name, or even for that matter if it does exist. PAT]
