And just run it past me again, what were the advantages to being on the NHS
net rather than the Web .....?
The words "nose, through, pay" spring to mind <g>

> Dear Dr Risk,
>
> Sorry for the delay in returning your earlier Email, I have been
> trying to establish the situation with regards to the NHS Messaging
> Service (NMS) and the availabity of the remote IP Message Store. Here
> is the current situation.
>
> The NHS Messaging Service (NMS)
>
> Whilst the NMS has been available for a large number of users with
> there own Post Box or MTA (Message Transfer Agent) most of the remote
> (Dial-in) users are connected using the X25 Dial Service. There has
> been an ongoing trial envolving some 97 GP's in South Staffs using the
> IP Message Store over BT's HealthNet IP network (NHSnet). This trial
> is just concluding and will result in the costs for an IP RUA (Remote
> User Agent) and associated software (IP Stack, Etc) being available
> via the NHS NMS contract, very soon!. The cost of messaging on the
> NMS remains as per the literature I left with you on tariffing.
>
> HealthNet (NHSnet) - BT's Managed IP Network
>
> The costs for use of HealthNet, including the use of the Internet Via
> the Managed Firewall for PSTN users with a PC and Modem are as follows
> (#=Pounds). Connection #50.00, Rental #45.00/Qtr The only other costs
> are for the use of the PSTN dial service, which is charged at local
> call rates (ie 0345). If however, you wish to use the Internet the
> Code of Connection requires you to use the Stong Authentication
> Service which is charged as follows (#=Pounds). Connection #85.00,
> Rental #27.50/Qtr
>
> HealthNet WebWorld
>
> To rent web space on BT's WebWorld Server Service, the costs are as
> follows (#=Pounds). Standard Service (upto 100MB in 5MB increments),
> Registration and set-up #25.00, Rental for 1st 5MB #360.00 p.a.
> Additional Disk Space (in 5MB increments) #25.00/Qtr/5MB. There will
> also be an admin charge of #25.00 for changes made after the initial
> set-up (eg for additional disk space). More about this Service can be
> found on the Internet at http://www.bt.com/healthnet
>
> I hope this clarifies the situation, I will call you tomorrow (19th
> Nov) to ascertain if Ican be of further assistance. Kind Regards,
> Darren Spill, BT.
