Hi,

        We have phone here, but what is more commonly used is SEND and a
program called SAY.  I'm assuming SEND is implemented on most nodes and
could be used much as here (ie. for sending one liners but not through mail).
I'd be curious to see a comparison of system resource usage between phone
and SEND (or any other common one line message facility).
