In the general case, I know of no gateway for this purpose.  The Commercial
Mail Relay (CMR), operated here, did have a general gateway into Dialcom
until March 1990.  It was funded by the National Science Foundation.  When
NSF funding went away, Dialcom management decided not to continue the service
with their own funds.  The gateway was shutdown.

Some Dialcom customer groups arranged to have dedicated gateways setup within
the CMR.  CGNet Services, the organization Ken Novak is with, was one of
those groups.  THIS GATEWAY IS FOR THE USE OF CGNET SERVICES CUSTOMERS ONLY.
If your intended mailbox is with CGNET, then you've got a route, otherwise,
you're probably SOL.

>Please send replies directly and I will mail the summary here.

This question has come up a lot recently and needs to be distributed as
widely and quickly as possible; however, if you find another route, I'd like
to hear about it.

Dialcom is owned and operated by British Telecom.  If their customers wish an
Internet gateway, they must forcefully and directly inform BT.

The other Dialcom customer groups with dedicated CMR gateways are the
American Library Association and Westinghouse.

Information about the CMR can be obtained from:
