Sounds like a neat idea; I have something that, with help,
would fit the bill out even better.
 
It is a free email simulation; kids get a password, log-on and get
send and receive messages. There is even a sysop function so you can monitor
messages.
 
However, it is a basic progam made to work on a single station, and needs
some proramming fixes to work on a hard drive.
 
I invite anyone with programming skills to take a look and see if the
fixes could be easily done.
 
Programmers, please grab the file

and let us know what can be done!
 
thanks!
