	Well I remember a few of you were interested in finding out about
GEnie and if there is a way to get mail to them.

	Well there was no way until now! GEnie rescently went into an open
BETA TEST of an Internet Email connection. In other words anyone on GEnie
that would like to pay for it now can have the connection.

Here are a few short paragraphs describing the connection from a GEnie
file.
