You won't ever be able to ping sno.mts.dec.com.  It's on DEC's internal
Easynet, using DECnet protocols, and 'mts' is not a machine, but a
gateway to the internal mail system, and 'sno' is the location name for
Sydney, represented in real life by a machine called snor01 or such.
Just take a breath, and send your mail.  The physical gateway into DEC
is located in California, so when you do write it, Internet will take it
to California, where it hops into Easynet on the DEC side, and travels
to Australia from there.
