I thought that sending mail to <user> on AO was as simple as: <user>@applelink.apple.com Does that not work anymore? -Greg T.

AppleLink and America Online are -=*NOT*=- the same thing. America Online used to be that service known as AppleLink: Personal Edition. AppleLink, the Apple dealer info network, existed before, and is completely independent of ALPE/America Online. America Online is operated by Quantum. Why the name change? I guess after Apple pulled out of AO (conflict of management styles with Quantum?), they had to change the name. Apple's presence is not missed, except as the donator of cool hardware prizes :-) -- Dave Seah | Omnidyne Systems-M | INET: seah@ee.rochester.edu | "User-Friendly Killing Machines" | America Online: AFC DaveS

America Online and Applelink are not the same systems. Applelink is Apple's
own internal system and available to dealers, user groups and developers.
America Online is not sponsored by Apple and is run by Quantium Services in
McLean, VA. They also run a similiar service for Commodore computers.
