The Telegram solution that Stas has built        is limited to itself; the general public cannot access those        messages unless specifically participating as "known" users.        Unlike usenet, it is not possible to be a lurker as you can be in        fidonet or usenet.              Carol's analogy of the Telegram "system" as an OLR solution is        better. No one thinks of OLR's as gateways. ;)                                   --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.48        * Origin: ----------Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate.---------- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 154/10 203/0 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
