Incidently, if the above is true, the e-mail addresses within >TELENET are specified somewhat like bitnet adr ? I just sent an article out about the connection here to TELENET (that person was asking about the OMNET service). If you missed it, you can request information from: Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU TELENET is a commercial network run by Sprint (a GTE company?). It does sell time to third parties. OMNET is just one of several. Several mail gateways between the ARPA Internet and BITNET exist. The current default is CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (that's their Internet name, I don't know the BITNET). The basic syntax going to BITNET is: user%bitnet-host@cunyvm.cuny.edu CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU takes it and sends it out to BITNET as user@bitnet-host. The reverse is should be similar. Your local BITNET postmaster should know. If you're on BITNET and wish to send to TELENET, your best bet is the Simple Forwarding Header method available with the Commercial Mail Relay (described today in a previous message). Craig E.
