BITNET is not a dialup network.  I actually used a BITNET machine in Israel
once; you can talk to the USA in real time from there (you have mail, file
transfer and talk capabilities); it's just that the protocols are different
from the Internet.  BTW, I realize that this is not the place to discuss all
this, but it was brought up here.
