In a word, yes.  There is a VNET-Internet Gateway for mail with a simple
automated registration system. You can send a note to nic@vnet.ibm.com
to find out if someone is already registered to send/receive mail
(in the body of the note, ask "whois username"  ... don't include quotes).
An IBMer can send a note via VNET to NIC at IINUS1 and say GET HOWTO INTERNET
to get enrollment instructions (GET is not supported from the Internet side).
Hope this helps, Norm
