GE's QuickComm service is an international electronic mail system that also has *legal* value because the service-supplier (GE) guarantees delivery and logs date&time of submission&receipt. Using protocols and a special "PC-mailbox" program to be used on the PC side, it is possible to send *any* file across the world. You can log on to the service on entry points that (in the US and Europe) are about in every major city. Thus local telephone costs are low and the service is not too expensive itself either. I know of several international operating companies that use the service. Hope to've been of help, Paul Ogilvie
