OMNET is a mail service available on TELENET host MAIL/USA.  Mailboxes can be
reached either by embedding the TELENET address in an RFC822 (Internet)
address or using a Simple Forwarding Header (SFH) in the body of a message
sent to Intermail@Intermail.ISI.EDU.

In the Internet address:

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

[**NOTE: Square brackets *should* be acceptable in an Internet address but
many mailers, especially BITNET relays, don't like them there.  The work
around is to quote the user part as above.**]

A SFH (remember, send the message to Intermail@Intermail.ISI.EDU):

	Forward: TELEMAIL
	To: [username/OMNET]MAIL/USA
	<Blank-Line>
	<Message Text>

"TELEMAIL" is the name of the TELENET host to which the CMR actually
connects.

For complete instructions on using the CMR bridge to TELENET, send a message
to:

		     Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU

Hope this helps.
