If anyone at IBM reads this, I am quite ready to do this for a fee.

I still feel IBM should be going absolutely berserk promoting the fact
that while MSN costs money, OS2NET is FREE!!!! I think OS2net would be more
appropriate than IBMNET for most users, but clearly, the system should be
capable of any FTN, inluding an automated search for networks, by polling
the starting point, and tracing uk AKAs.

Think how B Gates would feel about free competition he can't stop!

Come on teamers ... put a flea in their ear!
