I know all about it. I'm required to use it daily, both for work and for
class. I was just surprised to hear of a fellow Notes-user.

We have no POP server here (or we do, but we have no dialup PPP service,
so it's useless unless you're connected to the network). We use Dreams as
an interface to PMDF, which has its nice features.

SLRN can be compiled under VMS (at least, 0.9.0.0 could be). I find it a
lot easier to use than NEWSRDR.
