I am presently involved in researching and organizing a paper concerning the advantages and disadvantages of connecting a companie's E-mail system to a large, indeed international, network such as Usenet. I thought it might be appropriate to use the net to solicit opinions and, more importantly, request any CONCRETE factual information the actual participants might have available. I'm interested in how the organization (i.e. your company) has found it's making the connection available at each work station a benefit and/or detriment. Are professional conferences aided? Do extra-curicular dept.s (e.g. net.rec.bochie-ball) 'steal' your employee's/fellow's valuable time? ...where does your company find the payoff? I hope to get some fairly objective input, though I realize I may be primarily addressing the 'pro' group. In any case, I'll be glad for any and all replies. Please write me through E-mail to my account at North Dakota State University. Thank you, Bruce E.
