follow-up, accessing genie from the net

[root@sunrise.apana.org.au (Aaron Howell)]

I received the following re my question about genie from the net (edited 
for brevity) This one was good because it actually shows a session.
He asked me to forward it on, so here it is.

Yes, you can telnet into GEnie.  You pay an extra $2 per hour to do
it, though, because you wind up going through a SprintNet node, and
GEnie charges $2 extra per hour for SprintNet access.

         Example of getting to GEnie from any Internet host: (if you
didn't
          know already.)
          example% telnet hermes.merit.edu Trying 35.1.48.168 ...
Connected
          to hermes.merit.edu. Escape character is '^]'.

          %Merit:Hermes (HME876:TN03:VT100:EDIT=MTS) %You have reached
          MichNet, operated by Merit Network, Inc. %Enter a

Also, for those who don't already know, it is possible to mail a genie
user by posting to
user@genie.guise.com
You can also send mail from genie to the internet, but I can't remember 
offhand how it's done.
Good luck.
