Hello,

I need some assistance in sending mail from my UNIX system in house to
a customer's PROFS system.  Does Internet have a gateway to IBM's
network for PROFS mail?  

I do know the IBM node name and the user name.  Do I use IBM.com or 
vnet.ibm.com?  Is there something else I should try?

Any feedback/help would be appreciated.  Send mail to fico!agh@apple.com.

Way thanks,

Alan

PROFS is a program, not a network. Lots of people have PROFS (or
Officevision, the Son of PROFS).

If the person works directly for IBM, then you should ascertain:

  1) Do they have external mail access? Not all IBMers do,
     although it's a relatively simple process (get a form from
     the TOOLS disk, get their manager to send it to the outside
     gateway admin). If they do have outside access, try
     <user>@<hostname>.vnet.ibm.com. 

  2) If the customer is attached to IIN (IBM's global X.25/SNA
     based network that they sell access to customers), try
     userid@host.iinus1.ibm.com. 

Otherwise, you need to contact the company directly and ask about
external connections.
