I am trying to send mail to a friend of mine who has a Genie and AOL account. I recently found a file describing how to send messages between networks such as applelink, compuserve, internet, and a number of others. 1: Is there a difference between AOL and applelink? i.e. if i sent mail to him via useid@applelink.apple.com would it get to his AOL account? 2: If the above won't work, is it possible to send stuff to Genie? It wasn't listed in the file (dated feb 15 1990) Thanks for the Help! BTW: If anyone wants to look at this file let me know. It lists networks like fidonet, mcimail, usdanet, bix, FAX, nasanet, and a number of others. It lists about 15-20 networks total.

Yes, there's a difference: they are completely separate things. I don't know of any way to mail from internet to America Online (or to GEnie). -- David A.

As of now, as far as I know, there is no way to reach America on line or to reach Genie. This is fairly recent information too. I haven't heard any info about either of them trying to gain access either. The only one that I know of that has access at the moment is compuserve.. and I think well, might, but don't quote me on that. Doug Hughes
