As is well recorded, UUCP systems swap mail and news (and other files) using (among others) the g protocol. I somehow suspect that when two bitnet sites talk to each other with modems they use something else. Is there any documentation that explains the workings of this protocol. BTW, by it's very nature, this is going to reaching the wrong audience since I'm posting it to a Usenet newsgroup. If there is a bitnet equivalent of comp.mail.misc (maybe handled by a LISTSERV somewhere) where this would be appropriate, I'd be grateful if someone could crosspost.
