Hey Michael,

 Mi> He was making general statements about how todays tech is full of features that never existed before and I was telling him that we
 Mi> had all that back then too - nothing has really changed, just improved. We had chat rooms, online shopping, online games, weather,
 Mi> news and more. He didn't believe it, so I showed him a screen shot of some old Prodigy adn CompuServe internet stuff and he was
 Mi> stunned. 

Yeah we did have all that back in the day. I remember doing "online banking" with my bank via Viatel (Australia's viewdata/videotex implementation) - it was pretty cool at the time. That was circa 1988.

 Mi> Does anyone know if this server can send email externally?

The software can, depends on if the sysop has set it up.

My install can - I even having mailing lists caming into it...
