                                                              February 1985


          Users  who  access  Autonet  via  third-party  networks (Telenet,
          Tymnet, or Datapac),  will  now  notice  an  improvement  in  the
          response they receive to the input of a carriage return.

          Specifically, where Telenet users formerly experienced a delay in
          the Line Feed following input of a carriage return, they will now
          see the Line Feed occur immediately.  Where  Tymnet  and  Datapac
          users  formerly experienced a double Line Feed (one immediate and
          one delayed) as well as possible double echo, they will now see a
          single Line Feed occur immediately, and no double echo.

          This recent software enhancement makes all  three  networks  con-
          sistent  in appearance. AID information files on each network now
          reflect these changes.

          PLEASE  NOTE: In all three cases, the default setting of $$ECHO 0
          is assumed; any change to this parameter will  likely  result  in
          double echo.

          Additionally, the impending implementation of the X.75 gateway to
          the  Datapac  network  may  again  alter  access  procedures  and
          responses for users of this network. You will  be  notified  when
          that  occurs, and the information will appear in the AID program.
