To send mail from bitnet to uucp (usenet) requires special software in many
cases. (A large number of bitnet sites can only talk to other bitnet sites
unless special gateway software is used... I love IBM :-)
If there is someone in particular who cant get mail thru to you, get them
to send me a note (scott@utoronto.bitnet) and I might be able to help them
out.
What is basically required is to send mail thru the gateway at psuvax1 which
will transfer their mail to uucp.

psuvax1 (located at Penn State University) is the BITnet <--> UUCP
gateway.
BITnet --> UUCP user%host.UUCP@psuvax1 (I'm pretty sure)
UUCP --> BITnet host1!host2!intermediate!hosts!psuvax1!host.bitnet!user
A good article to use for reference is "Notable Computer Networks" by John
Quarterman, in Communications of the ACM, sometime last fall (sorry, I don't
have it with me at this particular moment).

From BITNET, the address to use is: user@node.UUCP
The syntax from MOST VM/CMS BITNET nodes is:
mail marv@vsedev.UUCP (mixed
(obviously, this is to send mail to me)
case sensitivity is important!

The specific issue was Volume 29, Number 10, October 1986.

Bitnet users should check at the BITNIC for a information on UUCP gateways,
there are lots of them. Some sites are using us (UWOCC1) as a UUCP gateway
because we support the pathalias maps ... user@host.UUCP is nicer than
specifying a route.

Simple...
just route it through psuvax1
...!psuvax1!site.bitnet!user

The method described in the articles "Notable Computer Networks" says: ...!psuvax1!host.bitnet!user Also various other posters have mentioned that psuvax1 is one of a couple UUCP <-> Bitnet gateways. I have not heard of any other. Hope this helps; Norm Tiedemann ..!ihnp4!ihlpa!normt AT&T Bell Labs

Well, Marvin, that would have worked back in the days when the Penn
State CS Dept. had only one Vax. Now, however, you need to use
'psuvax1' instead of 'psuvax'.
Good luck, Brad!
