Flying Buffalo has done this for quite a while, the major advantage
being that one can run turns as fast as twice a week.
	The only problem one is likely to get into is that most educational
addresses have provisions restricting the use of their accounts to non-
commercial use. Flying Buffalo, for example, uses commercial accounts.
Obviously, too, a straight com will give it to you too, if you can get such
an account affordably.
	Although I don't know it for certain, I suspect you can use Netcom
accounts in just this way. I've had in the past some problems with Netcom
in regards to faulty accounting ain the form of computer errors, but strongly
suspect this is the exception and not the rule. I know Netcom is in the Bay
Area and the Los Angeles area, and remember hearing that it was up in the
Northwest, too.
	As soon as our new PBM, "The Myths of Daar", gets programmed and goes
through a beta-test we were planning on looking around for such com access
so as to allow email-submittable turns.
