Also covers mIRC, Rondak's Portal, RPGNet, and anything else that uses the Internet for running games. The emphasis is on Glorantha rather than any particular rules system, and I'd guess there's about a 50:50 split between HQ and RQ.

Time coordination for PBeM isn't really required, but for real-time things like mIRC obviously it is. But even there, world-wide games are possible. I used to be in one with players in the UK and Australia, and the GM in Canada.
