	For all those interested in the poor man's network, the new version
of chat is now available. Chat (as you may or may not recall) is the only
program to my knowledge that claims the ability to talk to any computer over
an rs232 line from a unix. What is really new is the chat ftp mode which
was designed to automate the chat procedure for file transfer. Thus chat is
now also ftp to any computer (a limited ftp at least). The current version
includes a much enhanced and improved chat program that is much quicker and
more reliable and the ftp routines. Unfortunately there is no guarentee on
ftp (or chat for that matter) and there is now a small fee for the pair.

	I might note that these two programs have been running and improving
for about six months now and are quite stable and good at what they do (and
poor at what they don't do). If you or anyone you know is interested, please
mail me or have them mail me (on the arpanet please) requesting further
information.
