    --- TIC-TECH message:
    We seem to have gotten a couple of different threads going under the subject
    of "AOL Tunnels Will Be Blocked." I'm guessing that Sharon's question below
    is in response to a message in which Wes Felty mentions that he would like
    to remove telnet from all his computers. We don't have any plans at this
    point to remove telnet from cks. Although having telnet access to cks
    available does make it more vulnerable to hackers, we know that many users
    are still relying on telnet to get their cks email via pine.

    We do want eventually to get to the point where everyone is using POP3 or
    IMAP to get their mail - or, even better, Outlook and/or OWA (Outlook Web
    Access) - and hopefully not relying on cks for other services. At that
    point, cks can be honorably retired, but it's a ways in the future.

    Thanks,
    Judy

    Pardon my ignorance....but if telnet was removed, how would we access cks?
