Welcome to the Internet Connection!
This program allows you to enter extended length Internet addresses not
usually accepted under normal BBS systems. You may enter up to 70 characters
for the 'To:' address. This must be a valid Internet style address, or your
message will die in empty space.
You may often hear the term 'Information Superhighway' and not know what it
actually means. This is a term that almost always means the Internet.
This great information system spans our entire globe, giving world-wide
access to all beings, mortals and immortals alike! Thus, allowing everyone
to communicate via electronic mail (e-mail).
A valid internet address usually begins with a person's name, followed by
the 'at' symbol, @. After the @ symbol, the address of the computer system
the user is associated with, or frequents, is entered. An example would be:
john.doe@omega.com (notice that you use '.' instead of spaces!)
