  I too, used InterMail and InterEcho years ago, when I ran GT Power
under dial-up. IM and IE are abandonware now, as you noted. I originally
registered IREX in 2001.

  I don't have a dial-up line, due to cost, and the noisy phone lines.
Several years ago, construction crews working out here cut underground
cables like a knife through butter (even though they were clearly
marked). Then, they left the holes uncovered, and that night, it poured
rain, flooding the cables.

  Besides, with telnet, one can connect from virtually anywhere, with no
long distance charges.
