    that is still being done but on a private basis... IF that sort of gateway ever
    opens back up, it will be inundated by spammers... believe me as my system turns away hundreds of spammers daily...

    none of that is necessary or needed for the most part... my gating is my own service and not tied to anything else, official or otherwise...

    I think I have saved somewhere my first
    Internet email messages that were sent from England, through Fidonet netmail to
    a gateway onto the Internet as email to my uncle in Canada. He was a bit surprised. :-)
