I agree about it being a useful system.
In one way though it is _too_ secure, being direct dialup, howevr it
is no doubt the work of a moment to either ship it onto a PCG's own
network, under their security rules[1] whatever they are, or if
everyone involved agreed presumably to connect it to the Internet
rather than to the isolated modems.
I think one weakness of it as a web-based system is that it doesn't
have an off line reader. THis may be because it is based on Lotus
Notes, which of course has its own methods of replication for off-
line use of messages.
Actually, the more I see of Notes/Domino (which the BMA adopted for
CorpNet) the more impressed I am - it seems exactly the tool for
HA/PCG orgs which need to keep documents on their networks which are
also published to the Web, and need to be revised from time to time
by ordinary typists.

[1] try this for a security rule "e-mail addresses may only be
distributed on paper, as the internet is public."
The organisation involved is unhappy to find members of the public
knowing their e-mail addresses, and thus is prepared to handicap
itself thus, and then to accept e-mails sent to those addresses.
