| If Tymnet offers anything even close to PC Pursuit, we'll sign up
| immediately.  They have been VERY helpful when I had problems with their 
| network a while back (we were using it to connect to another site which has 
| a PAD hooked to them).  Their technical assistance was (1) right on the ball,
| (2) prompt, we got right through to a tech, and (3) courteous.

Tymnet has been soliciting input from potential customers for a PCP-like
service.  Originally they were accepting telephone calls, but after half a
day they saw that the number of calls and duration of each would take up
more of their reps' time than they could spare, so they have asked us to 
send paper mail instead.

The address is

TYMNET
2560 N. First Street
San Jose, California  95161-9019
