I never saw it, either.

The good news is that over two years ago we were connecting to
CompuServe using Executor/NEXTSTEP. The bad news is that we put
serial port support on hold until after E2 ships. The good news is
that E2 will be shipping soon, so we can implement serial support.
The bad news is that we're going to restructure Executor's code before
we add features like this.
All told it will probably be a few months before we even have bleeding
edge versions with serial port support. Hopefully then we'll be
adding new features at a rate even faster than we did with 1.99<x>.

Yes, we have some plans for alternatives.
BTW, networking falls in much the same category as serial port
support, although it's not something that we even played with under
E/NS and it's a bit harder, but in general it's high priority and we
think we can shoehorn it in after the code restructuring.
