To send mail to a user on a Fidonet BBS from the Internet, convert the
Fidonet address to Internet address this way:

Fidonet:

First Last on BBS address Zone:Net/Node (Say John DeCarlo on 1:109/131)

Internet:

First_Last@fNode.nNet.zZone.fidonet.org
         (say, John_DeCarlo@f131.n109.z1.fidonet.org)

Hope this helps.

Fidonet:  1:109/131  Internet:  jdecarlo@mitre.org
