    Yes james...it is possible, and not *too* difficult, but some
Fidonet BBS's will not let their users post private mail (called
Netmail in fidonet).  the user should check with the owner of the
BBS he is using to see if they have access to netmail.  It would
also be helpful to check with the owner to see if they know of a
nearby fidonet gateway to the internet, since the official gateway
is on the west coast somewhere.

    Anyhow, to send mail to bitnet the fidonet user needs to send
mail to the user:  UUCP at 1:1/31      (or a closer internet
gateway).

    then the first line of the message should contain the words:

to: user@node.bitnet

    then they must leave a blank line.  then they can type the
message they want to send.

    if you have any questions, let me know
