As they say on the cluster ... BINGO!  If you tie up your phone line long
enough to read email, you could more quickly hit the telnet cluster, search
and filter on T33C and DIGI, and you're done.  Many more (and, timely) spots
will contribute to your search than the relatively few that show up in email
messages ... and you'll tie up the phone line for less time.  In other
words, you can search the packet cluster for exactly what you want at any
time without having to tie up a phone line monitoring it continually.  No
different than email.
