^There is also a MX out there for OMNET (omnet.nasa.gov).  According to
^a little chart I have hanging in my office, you should be able to
^send to:
^ 
^	username@omnet.nasa.gov
^ 
^I haven't tried this.  But I have used:
^ 
^	username@gsfcmail.nasa.gov 
^ 
^which goes to GSFCMAIL (which is also one of the Sprintmail/Telemail based 
^email systems).  I'm told that <long address>@sprint.com is a faster way of 
^getting your mail where you want it to go.  I prefer to type as little as 
^possible.

Come on Rick, get with X.400/OSI bandwagon!:)  The MX for OMNET uses NASA's
POSTMAN gateway at Ames.  I know the chart you refer to but I'm not sure
how NASA feels about mass use of the Ames gateway.  Besides the Ames gateway
can sometimes take hours or days to deliver (if at all).
