Help!

I'm trying to get ahold of someone from Argonne Labs near
Chicago. He is able to send to me but I am unable to return
messages.
Below is the address "header"  from him to me.


13:35:58 04/25/89 FROM PRESTBO@ANLER.BITNET: testing
Received: from ANLER.BITNET (PRESTBO) by ANLVM (Mailer R2.03B) with BSMTP id
 6016; Tue, 25 Apr 89 15:33:33 CDT
Date:    25-APR-1989 15:32:25.31
From:    <PRESTBO@ANLER.BITNET>

Howdy scott,

Haven't received anything from you yet.  Tuesday @ 1430

Try "prestbo@anler"   nothing happens
try "prestbo@anler.gov" rejected
try "prestbo@anler.edu"  rejected
try "prestbo@anler.anl.gov"  rejected
try "prestbo@anler.argonne.gov"   rejected
try "prestbo@anler.anl.edu"       rejected
try "prestbo@anler.argonne.edu"   rejected

If I try prestbo@anler.bitnet I get the following "replies":

14:17 FROM UCBCMSA: SENT FILE 0214 (0662) ON LINK CORNELLC TO ANLER
PRESTBO

14:17 FROM CORNELLC: SENT FILE 9457 (0662) ON LINK UICVM TO ANLER
PRESTBO

14:17 FROM UIVCM: SENT FILE 0570 (0662) ON LINK ANLOS TO ANLER
PRESTBO

14:17 FROM ANLCV1: FILE SYS_ANLSPECIFIC:[NJE.ERSPOOL]ARXMSG.MAIL;3
RECEIVED FOR PRESTBO

14:17 FROM ANLOS: IAT9199 MSGMAIL SENT ON LINK ANLCV1 TO ANLER

My question is... What does all this mean?  Is the a routing that
will eventually work?  Is it the type of routing that could take a
week to arrive?  Is there a faster way? Help!

Thanks!

Scott
