I have a friend named Larry Turnbull, who is a student at DeVry Technical
Institute in Atlanta, GA.  He told me once that the way he gets on the
systems that he learns how to program is through gateways.

I do not have telnet/ftp access, but do have internet E-mail and (of
course) usenet access.  Could someone that knows more about this gateway
tell me how I can go about locating and then sending mail to him?  I do not
have his phone number, or I'd call and ask him more about the gateways
since I jave just recently started using the internet.  Thanks

So how do you connect to Cleveland, California, Pennsylvania ??? 
You must be paying horrible phone bills, Eric !!!

( Not to mention that 3 of systems from your signature offers
telnet/ftp access, and one even for free... :).

you are right on the target. The best way to get someone's e-mai
address is to call him, and give him anyone of adresses - and ask
him to send e-mail to you. Then use "R" for reply...

Then if your reply bounces, read the original message carefully.  *Many*
people who know their "proper" address do put it in their .signatures but
neglect to put it in a Reply-To: header field.  The address that ends up in
From:, and that is used by "R" if there is no Reply-To:, is often NOT
USABLE.

Internet-ers, PLEASE use Reply-To:
