AOL-CIS. Absurd! For openers, AOL's entire system is about as incompatible with CIS's as you can get. AOL is Stratus running all sorts of home grown software dating back to 1985. CIS is 300 NT servers running a near total-re-write of CIS's old DEC PDP systems. CIS made judgement that to follow $19.95 flat rate was insane; along with spending 100's of millions on marketing. Why would it now buy into all of that by merger with AOL? CIS has given up on AOL's market, except overseas. There's more; but the talk is IMO just BS rumour mongering.
