I was talking to some guys from GE about the access to GENIE in Canada.

Right now they only have lines into Toronto and a couple of other major
cities.  Otherwise, you have to use telenet or tymnet to get in at
an immensely high rate.

They said they would like to hook up to datapac, but they were having
troubles getting it set up so average users could do XMODEM over
that packet network.

If you have some experience with datapac and can help them, call
Bob Figol at GE, 416-620-2155 and give them some hints.  That way we
can all get GENIE a little cheaper.
