Hum,

I don't know of such a server but I feel we should create one.
Currently I'm thinking about a mailbox/news/archive server in Smalltalk80
which offers access from Smalltalk80 (through a public domain View) with
modem or X.25.
This server would be installed on a machine of my employer Georg Heeg Inc.
(though I got no OK yet :-( .
It will be quite easy to add batched access via e-mail and access through
dumb terminals.

So what we need first is :   S O F T W A R E !!!

Folx, if you have small or larger goodies to share with us please post!
I will collect them all and then we'll see about a server.
