I am sending from Seattle, WA  USA  and would like to exchange email
with my colleagues in the CSFR.

Most of those who I know are now using FidoNet and do not know
how to access UUCP and the Internet.  
     Do you know how I could exchange mail with them between
     UUCP and FidoNet?

I know how to send a message from UUCP to FidoNet in my region, but I
am not sure if the domain naming system is the same for sending
to the CSFR.  I am using (for example):

              firstname.lastname@f(idonode).n(etwork).z(one).fidonet.org

For example, I might send a message to:

              john.smith@f6.n420.z2.fidonet.org   (the Internet address)

              2:420/6  (John Smith)               (the Fidonet address)

How would those on FidoNet in the CSFR send from FidoNet mail to UUCP?

Most of those with whom I would like to communicate are in Praha.

If you can think of a way for someone in the CSFR (especially Praha)
to access and start a UUCP and/or Internet account on a nearby node
please let me know how to do it.

Do you know about any UUCP/Fido or just plain UUCP nodes in 
the CSFR (especially BBS systems)??

(p.s.  I am also interested in communicating with colleagues in Berlin, Germany
       and St. Gallen, Switzerland.)

Thank you for your time.
