A book-dealer in England gives his address as :-

                                      Email: 87: SQQ 1328

Can anyone tell me what system this is? Is it reachable from the Internet?
I've looked in the internetwork guide and found Telecom Gold, but the format
doesn't seem to match.

Alternatively is there a source of info about British email somewhere?

Thank you.

It is a Telecom Gold mailbox, which you can now reach from the Internet.
You should send the message to

	10087.sqq1328@gateway-to-gold.interspan.gb

The first 5 digits are the full domain and system number, which is then
followed by a period and the user id. A virtual mailbox at Telecom Gold
gets created when you send your message, which allows the user to reply.
