- Nope, you can't access AppleLink from the Internet. You must subscribe to
- it, but it's more expensive than other on line services. I used it for a
- couple years and at the same time used America OnLine. I can send messages
- to people on AppleLink via Internet or AOL. I found that while updates do
- get posted to ALink, most of the updates are then cross-posted to other
- online services like AOL, CompuServe, etc within a couple days.
