I think these automated address convertors have a ways to go before they're
generally helpful.  Sending the address in question to 
address-server@relay.cdnnet.ca results in

Date: 28 Sep 92 10:16 -0700
From: CDNnet Address Server <address-server@cdnnet.ca>
To: nauen@wrair-emh1.army.mil
Message-Id: <mv920928101621>

RFC 822: scv-request@media.mit.edu
X.400:   C=ca;ADMD=telecom.canada;PRMD=cdn;O=edu;OU=mit;OU=media;S=scv-request

This _might_ work from Telecom Canada; I doubt that it would be of much value
to an X.400 customer/user in the US, UK, or other countries.  Unfortunately,
I can't see any evidence of uniformity in X.400 addresses.  At this time,
I know of two which should work for the address scv-request@media.mit.edu

Sprint: (A:TELEMAIL,P:INTERNET,C:US,"RFC-822":<scv-request(a)media.mit.edu>)
AT&T: c=us;admd=attmail;o=uucp;dda.id=internet(b)media.mit.edu(b)scv-request

But neither may work from the UK.  If I were in Scott's situation, needing
an X.400 address which would supposedly work from some system in England,
and mhs-relay gave me any answer which did _not_ work, I think I'd try to
find some live person at mhs-relay who might know more than the machine does.

Send mail to liason@mhs-relay.ac.uk for specific information on the  
gateway, and the services it provides. They have a list of all ADMD's that  
they can reach via the 4 major ADMD's they connect to.
