Actually, LISTSERV-TCP/IP  is now generally  available. We didn't  make a
formal announcement because it turned out that US universities in general
won't  let you  quote or  even mention  them on  any kind  of qualitative
statement, such as "compatibility is good", "we didn't have any problem",
"the code works fine", etc. I still have to get used to the extent of the
control  lawyers have  over  people's lives  in the  US  ;-) Anyway,  the
problem was not  so much that we couldn't quote  the beta-test sites, but
that everyone  knew we were beta-testing  on sites with a  lot of traffic
and was  waiting to hear  how it went.  People were mostly  worried about
compatibility  -  what is  the  impact,  will  the users  complain,  what
functions do we lose, etc. If we'd made an announcement making no mention
of the  beta-test sites, it  would have looked  like we had  something to
hide, so we decided to rely on  more informal channels such as this list,
and on the fact that anyone can send commands to the LTCP servers and see
what works and what doesn't.
