A few months ago the president of Micro-Systems Software called our company
(Felsina Software) and asked for a "free" copy of A-Talk, our telecomm and
terminal program.  He sent us a "free" copy of Organize! in exchange (sincerely
I never used it).  Today I received my advertiser copy of the AmigaWorld
Special Issue where Micro-Systems Software has a full page ad on Online! 2.0,
which is "The rebirth of a standard.... We [MSS] spent long research and
development hours segregating YOUR [users] letters .... things like 9600 baud
support, KERMIT protocol, auto-chop, ...a telephone book,  a review buffer to
re-read text that scrolled too fast [remember the OLD Online!?] and 132-column
support". 

Interesting that ALL the features mentioned were present since September 1986 
in the 1.1 release of A-Talk we sent MSS. We really feel flattered 8-).
Too bad they got no Tektronix emulator in there!  I guess with Aegis Diga!
coming out REAL SOON NOW (they got our bucks 1 month ago, but continue to
pospone release date) it should be an interesting year for telecomm programs.

Consider this a totally biased message, so NO disclaimers this time.  I AM
associated with Felsina Software.
