I have a friend in Nova Scotia, Canada (Halifax), who is in desperate need of an account to use INTERNET mail (USENET wouldn't hurt, either :-). Is there anyone out there who knows of *any* system, of *any* kind in, or around, Halifax, that has direct INTERNET mail access? It doesn't matter whether it is a public access UNIX system, BITNET, etc. If not, is there perhaps, then, some kind System Administrator out there who could provide her with an account for a few months? *Any* help would be sincerely appreciated, including any alternatives anyone might have. Please respond via E-MAIL, I don't want to waste any bandwith with this. Thanks in advance, Raven Disclaimer: The views expressed above are my own and no one else's.

Dalhousie University's dalcs is a UUCP/Internet site there; Mt. Allison University's MTA is a bitnet site near there. Both probably prefer to limit access to students and faculty, but it can't hurt to ask. As to commercial systems, Canada Telecom's Envoy-100 service was one of the first X.400 services to link with AT&T Mail; so one might hope for internet mail access via attmail!internet once signed up with envoy (known to attmail users as mhs!envoy ). Logged on to attmail, a DIR MHS!ENVOY should still yield contact information -- did once, at any rate. Hope some of this helps. Fred <flinton@eagle.Wesleyan.EDU> <fejlinton@{attmail,mcimail}.com>
