[net.micro.cpm] BITNET

BITNET is not a dialup network.  I actually used a BITNET machine in Israel
once; you can talk to the USA in real time from there (you have mail, file
transfer and talk capabilities); it's just that the protocols are different
from the Internet.  BTW, I realize that this is not the place to discuss all
this, but it was brought up here.

I'm too busy reading other people's cute quotes to think of any of my own.
