The mail system called "telemail" is now "SprintMail" and a few different
relays between it an the Internet exist.  The preferred one is Sprint own,
Sprint.COM.  A less functional, but more consistent*, one is through the
Commercial Mail Relay.  NASA ARC also had one for in-house use.

Sprint.COM uses an X.400-like addressing scheme.  The best way to find out
your friends address in the eyes of Sprint.COM is to have her send you a
message so you can see the "From" field.  (For how to do this, she should ask
her local reps or see the on-line help.)  Mail through Sprint.COM is
store-and-forward.

The CMR also uses a store-and-forward method; however, it is visible to the
user.  Mail is "relayed" through a mailbox on SprintMail.  Information on the
CMR is available from "intermail-request@intermail.isi.edu."

The address you mentioned in your article would work, after processing, with
the CMR if, and *only* if, it were on the *same* SprintMail host as the CMR
relay mailbox.

Your best bet is Sprint.COM.  Good luck.

*As recently as February 1991, Sprint.COM and SprintMail did not use
compatible versions of X.400.  One example is the country code: Sprint.COM
only accepted "US" while SprintMail used "USA."  One hopes that they will fix
such things; however, one must not hold ones breath....
