There are hundereds of PBM games available.  Most all are commercial
ventures that require that you pay for the turns.  I can get you the
addresses of a few if you wish.  This news group carries several PBeM
games that are free, but not always open for new players.  If you are
interested in role playing type games, you might check out the rec.games.frp,
there are frequently call for email gamers there.
    It would be helpful if you could be a little specific about the kinds of
games your interested in.

Russ.
