I have a friend (my father) who works at IBM in Southern France (La Goude), nearNice. I know that IBM has an extensive network, but that most of it is internaldue to problems a few years ago. But, I have seen posts from people in NY that work for IBM with something like john@IBM.com as their addresses. This shows that the system may not be all closed, as I previously thought. Does anyone have any information regaerding this? Anything would be helpfull. Thanks in advance- Noah -- Noah Cole.

In a word, yes. There is a VNET-Internet Gateway for mail with a simple automated registration system. You can send a note to nic@vnet.ibm.com to find out if someone is already registered to send/receive mail (in the body of the note, ask "whois username" ... don't include quotes). An IBMer can send a note via VNET to NIC at IINUS1 and say GET HOWTO INTERNET to get enrollment instructions (GET is not supported from the Internet side). Hope this helps, Norm

Any regular IBM Employee, with his manager's approval, can gain access to "Corporate Internet Gateway" (iinus1.ibm.com, aka vnet.ibm.com). That allows them to send and receive mail (only) to or from any external address. Contact me if you (or your Dad) need further information about how to get started.
