- Hi!
-
- I discovered this week that I will be losing my link to the outside world
- after all :-( Originally I thought that the link would remain until the
- Prime went, but no, the pad link will be shoved into the Sun, and as we
- aren't about to spend money on an expensive card for a machine that will
- be redundant at Christmas if they get their way, it seems my worst fears
- will become reality after all.
-
- (deep sigh)
-
- I'm uncertain as to what will happen to mail as the Sun will be handling
- it; I hope to move into this highly interesting area anyway, so it'll be
- fun learning (and now everyone will so "oh no it isn't!!!!). Losing the
- X25 link means that mail will come via SMTP instead to the Prime, yeuch.
- Still, Michel's MAILER isn't so bad :-)
-
- All is not completely lost though, as we should be on the internet by the
- end of September; the Sun ought to route the IP packets and then I could
- still telnet to places (for as long as it lasts :-)).
-
-
- Hopefully I can find a nice friendly site willing to let me continue playing
- with my programs; it would be a shame to lose the environment that I "grew
- up" in .....
