Well, one thing I'd like to see is a way for 8-bit Apple users to get on
the internet without having to use a Shell account. I really don't want
much, just a way to email and read the usenet, and possibly a way to
telnet into systems that can accomodate an Apple //. Nathan Mates said
this isn't possible with TCP/IP lines, though, so I doubt it'll ever
happen.
