EMT Re: BOARD: SCN and Hotmail - what you need to know

[The Tarans]

As a recently new em-trainer and SCN user, I suggest a longer-term program
of providing transition encouragement and support for FreePort users.  SCN
may serve a wider base as well as helping current users by encouraging
adoption of user software complying with what are effectively de-facto
standards (like POP3).  This should allow transferability of user
skills wherever the users might be.  In other words, helping FreePort
users help SCN to bring FreePort into compliance with standards.  Or help,
gradually, phase it out.

After all, four-track car stereo cartridges (or LPs, or Edison
Cylinders) can be nice, but your cassettes and CDs can also play in your
friends' cars and at homes as well.

If a priority of SCN is providing value to SPL and broadening our
community base of users and IPs, then wouldn't the accompanying priority
be working, over time, toward PPP services in some form?  If so, then
wouldn't the accompanyiny priority--bringing along current users--be
bringing users POP3 and webmail services?
