JANET addressing is indeed back-to-front, so your address from a JANET 
site would be ljason@edu.umd.wam. Many JANET sites now have a direct 
internet link; those that don't use the nsfnet-relay.ac.uk gateway. 

If the direct addressing doesn't work, you can route via nsfnet-relay
explicitly. (i.e. ljason%edu.umd.wam@uk.ac.nsfnet-relay). You can also 
use the gateway in the other direction (i.e. from outside JANET send to 
user%domain.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk)
