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

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).
HandsNet oze3@quads.uchicago.edu (J. Daniel Ozeran) reports

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:

s873561@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Michael Barnett) reports
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
containing the message `SEND UNINODE' for details.
The postmaster for Saponet appears to be
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.
