QLs On The Internet

The Internet is a loose collection of worldwide computers and networks, connected by some sort of physical and logical link. One of the more well-known portions of the Internet is the Defense Data Network (DDN). Access to Internet is available through gateways provided by many commercial networks such as CompuServe, MCI Mail, Sprint Mail, and many others.

Through a variety of means, a number of QL users have discovered each other on the Internet. I have found two QL Users, one in Germany and one in Italy, with which I keep up a regular correspondence. Due to the way messages are routed through various connections and hubs, messages can take minutes or an entire day to reach the recipient.
