It would be nice if Mr. Shekhawat could keep my name attached to Part II
of the referenced article.  I've spent over a year collecting that
information; all I ask is a little recognition (sob).

(That `Part II' is Chapter Two of the file
math.princeton.edu:pub/rjc/misc/gateway.Z.)

Here's the most recent version of same:

Network             Comments (and userids of people who asked about it
                              and didn't post summaries)
-------             ---------------------------------------------------
American Online     Masato Ogawa (ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp) confirms
                    that there is no gateway.

British Telecom     rbatt@adam.adelaide.edu.au (R Batt) reports that
Gold                BT is a member of DialCom (qv).

DialCom             The gateway was shut down in March 1990 for financial
                    reasons.  Individual customers may have established
                    private relays through the Commercial Mail Relay (CMR).
                    Information available on the CMR is available from
                        Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU

Dialog              mcmahan@netcom.UUCP (Dave Mc Mahan) reports that
                    nobody responded to his query in October 1990.

Easylink            a Western Union service
                    bruceh@CV.HP.COM (Bruce Hauge) reports that as of March
                    1991 there is no gateway yet, but they're working on it.

ECONET              rchen@draco.rutgers.edu reports that you send mail to
                    cdp!user@labrea.stanford.edu

Eurokom             christ@issun3.stc.nl (Brian Christiansen) reports that
                    nobody responded to his query in February 1991.

Fidelity Investments ea47916@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Eric Adams) reports that
(Dallas)            nobody responded to his query in February 1991.

GEnie               No gateway yet, but Bill Louden, the General Manager of
                    GEnie, has stated publically that they are currently doing
                    research into the feasibility of a gateway.  Trust me,
                    if such a gateway is set up, you'll hear about it.

                    By the way, the machine genie.com is a red herring.

GoldNet             chaim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Chaim Dworkin) reports that
                    GoldNet is part of DialCom (qv).

Nifty-Serve         a Japanese BBS
                    suzuki@sai.vtt.fi (Makoto Suzuki) contacted the
                    system operators and confirmed that there is no gateway.

OMNET               Craig E. Ward (cew@isi.edu) explains:

Go either through Sprint Internet relay, Sprint.COM, or through the Commercial
Mail Relay (CMR) at Intermail.ISI.EDU.

Through the CMR, you can send mail to OMNET users with this format:

           "[omnet.user/OMNET]MAIL/USA%TELEMAIL"@Intermail.ISI.EDU

Users on OMNET will need to use an embedded header, i.e. in the body of the
message text (almost as ugly as X.400, but not quite) in a message to
"[INTERMAIL/USCISI]SM66/USA" to get mail back to you:

        Forward: Internet
        To: Gumley_LE@cc.curtin.edu.au
        <Blank-Line>

You can get more information about the Commercial Mail Relay from:

                    companies purchase it from IBM and install it locally.

                    it has no gateway to any other network, and they
                    intend to keep it that way.

SAPONET             the South African Post Office's X.25 network (#6550)

                    that the alleged gateway via
                        user%sapo.net.com@ames.arc.nasa.gov
                    simply bounces.  There seems to be some way to sneak
                    in via FidoNet; send mail to
                        MAILSRV.RURES@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org

                        Barrett.UNDEE@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org

Telemail            stevenst@infonode.ingr.com (Todd Stevens) 20 Feb 91
Use the gateway at sprint.com   This requires knowledge of the recipient's
X.400 address on Telenet (now Sprintnet).  Your SMTP address will look like
this:

  smtp%"/dd.un=username/admd=telemail/o=gte/c=us/@sprint.com"

the username will be the recipient's username on the system and o will be
the organization.
