[comp.protocols.appletalk] AppleLink gateway to Internet?

I've heard that there is (or will soon be) an AppleLink gateway to the Internet
so that we can send mail from our Unix systems to AppleLink addresses. Does any
one know of this connection? Rumor has it that the gateway work is coming out 
of Stanford.

The AppleLink/BITNET Mail Relay pilot has just been extended "until
further notice".

But it seems that because of BITNET's and Apple's rules commerical use
of the relay is not permitted. (I can get you the messy legal stuff if
you want to see it.)

The good news is that there are a number of ways to get a mail relay
like Apple's setup.

The CE software people are rumored to be working on a QuickMail to
AppleLink relay product.

The relay Apple uses is a commerical service called DASnet. (Forwarded
message about it follows.)

I hope this helps.
