Well, my email bounced (retry limit exceeded), so my comments are to
add answers to the following questions:

1. How do I send mail to addresses listed as "george@phoenix.uucp"?
   When I send mail to there over the internet, there is not enough
   routing information for the message to make it there.  Is there
   any help?  (I obviously don't know the answer to this one either).

2. Format to post stuff in.
   (80 char./line, each line terminated with a <CR>).

3. How do I translate a IP name to an IP number?
   (i.e. lut.fi is 128.214.25.8).

4. Those perennial (daily) favorites:
     - Where is the cheapest, reliable memory SIMMs?
     - What speed should I get?
     - Will faster memory help?

     - What modem should I get?

     - What kind of disk should I get?
     - Where is the cheapest place to get it?

Hope this makes it to you.
