I don't see them, anywhere. This same story was given about Pop-before-SMTP in 1997. Supposedly, "everyone did it", but only a few small companies actually did it.
Depends on your idea of small, I saw over 100k-250k user dial-isps using systems such as this. not sure if that qualifies. it's all about the perspective that people have, we all have varying scopes, some smaller than others. -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
