<<...My view is that there is no way we get rid of the Internet mail protocols anymore, nor can we get rid of X.400. What we should fight for is to keep it limited to these two, and prevent Lotus, Novell and Microsoft of becoming so dominant with their LAN-E-mail protocols and associated WAN tunneling mechanisms, that we end up with even more than two Wide area E-mail protocols.>> --Erik Huizer Governments have proven ineffective at "getting rid" of any application/ protocol stack that users demand. The stick just doesn't work. Forget fighting a losing battle! Offer better alternatives. And, in the meantime, do things that encourage widespread seamless connectivity. Similarly, if products from Lotus, Novell and Microsoft can be made to interwork, and if they offer their users the functionality that the users want and are willing to pay for, then how _and why_ in the world should governments (us or EC) even _think_ about doing anything to "prevent" their dominance? Empower users; don't try to dam up the market and then shore up the leaky dams with our limited number of fingers (which, in any event, should be used for more productive ventures). --Steve G.
