250.0. "How will Quantumites stay in touch after Oct. 1?" by TOOK::MORRISON (Bob M. LKG1-3/A11 226-7570) Tue Sep 20 1994 19:33

  How are the future Quantumites here going to stay in touch with us after 
Oct. 1? I know there has been some discussion about this in other topics, but 
I would like this subject to have its own topic.
  Of course, Digital security rules will prevent Quantumites from reading or
writing to this notesfile. The question is, will Quantum be on the Internet
by then? (If it isn't already. I'm not quite clear on this.) And if not, will
there be any data link at all between the former Digital sites and the "real"
Digital?

250.1I hope people will keep in touch with me, as wellWRKSYS::REITHJim WRKSYS::Reith MLO1-2/c37 223-2021Tue Sep 20 1994 19:5412
    quantum is already on the network. Email will be possible in a short
    period of time. Digital policies don't allow forwarding notesfile
    entries without the author's permission but contact points should be
    able to cut and paste stuff in from the emails and it people are good
    about posting addresses, a reply to an outside note can easily be
    mailed by the author doing the reply.
    
    My brain hurts through doing that.
    
    I already keep in touch with TFSO'd buddies via a mail distribution
    list and it's pretty easy to set up a passthru mailer if you have a
    Unix system available (read: you can .forward to a distribution list)

    Yes Quantum is already on the Internet "your name"@QNTM.COM but we
    individually have not heard about our accounts - when we will get them
    etc...
    
    I will definitly miss all the notes files :^(

    will miss reading everything about everyone and anything......

    Hi...
    
    I don't know much about it technically but I've heard it said that you
    can start conferences on the INTERNET that don't require DIGITAL access
    at all.   
    
    Anybody know about that?

    	it is possible Jen. It's also possible to have peeps on the 'net
    participate in DEC notesfiles. Check with the mods of Bohica for more
    details...I'm not up on that stuff.
