Jerry, there are two IP level interconnects between the rest of the Internet
and MILNET, both at the FIX's where all us Federal backbones exchange 
information.  One of these is located here at Ames, and we host a Milnet
router attached to the DDN.

While there has been some talk about implementing specific restrictions
on interconnectivity between the MILNET and in particular it's sucessor the
DISN, no such filtering is being done by the MILNET at this point in time.

However, it's possible the site in question may have such filtering enabled,
so you should ask your friend to verify where the access control is being
done.  My bet is that something is misconfigured somewhere, and the lack
of connectivity is an accident, and not by design.  You might want to
verify that his access is access controlled by intention.
