I have been using a package called TRANSEND for my IBM PC. It allows a reasonable PC-PC mail transefer with "attachments" that can be com files etc. It used the modem7 protocol. Its human interface is very nice and easily learned by simple managers. It can also relay mail though mail systems like the the SOURCE and Ontyme . So I can compose a lot of mail on my PC send some of it via pc-pc communications and some via the source etc. While the mail part is not up to arpanet standards (by a long shot) you would be surprised at how useful it is. Clearly as soon as MCI gets their protocol public, it too will be a vehicle for this type of usage with a lot more flexibilty since I can telex etc. Dave
