Recently Katarina (kkw@cscwam.umd,edu) posted a message she had recevied concerning a software product called 'mix'. Given the content of the message, its timing, and the grin at the end, I took it to be an April fool's joke (remember last year's April Buzzings). I then posted a "I'll play along" follow-up message stating that I had ordered mix and expected to get it (with tongue in cheek) "when it became available"(which I took to be never.) I apologize for this message and the confusion it has cause. I have contacted kkw and she believes the message to her about mix was *not* a joke. I still have my doubts about mix, but to make amens for my faux pax I plan to run down any info I can find on mix and post it to the net. Unfortunately (so far) my mail to the German company that is said to be producing the mix product have bounced. Stay tuned. Sorry, sorry, sorry, Charlie charlie@wam.umd.edu

Charles: When I first read this announcement, I thought of Cube Route. They have an Advert in the back of NextWorld about a device that connects a NeXT to a phone line for Fax, voice mail and other stuff. Charles Perkins is/worked on it (He is the person who is writing the Com.Sys.Next articles for NeXTworld); I don't know about a ship date or how it is going. So, there seems to be a real product that does what you wanted. Jim R. BCS-NeXT -- My opinions, etc. etc...
