Hello, Hello

I've got another HP related communication problem.

I got a message from an HP employee stationed in France.  He sent a
message to me through Bitnet at:

<AR.MSG@STANFORD.BITNET>

On the address header his address is:

<ptc%hpindda@hp-sde.sde.hp.com>

When I tried to reply to this account it bounced :-(

In the text of his mail he suggested I use the account name:

<ptc@hpgnd.hp.com>

When I send to this account I think it just gets lost in space.


My questions are:

How come he can send a message to me but I cannot return one??
Is Bitnet messing this up or should I try to connect up through a
Bitnet/HP address???  If so, what would a Bitnet-HP address look
like? Are there problems with the basic HP communications nodes?
Should I sell my HP stock?

Thanks (again) for the help!!

Scott
