Sorry about that.  I didn't check the instructions I posted very carefully. 
One set didn't mention the host name for the gateway, and the other gave it
wrong.  The correct address for the gateway is postmstr@unislc.uucp.  If that
fails, try sun!unislc!postmstr or att!unislc!postmstr.  I also claimed I never
made the gateway work -- not true; I did verify that the gateway worked, though
I was never able to establish contact with my intended contactee.  Here's my
own summary of how to use the gateway:

Outside world to Ofislink/Mappermail:

  Send a message to postmstr@unislc.uucp  (that's postmstr, not postmaster)
  In the BODY of the message, give the address in a #To: line.  The number/
    host address is inverted and the slash replaced by a period.  For example,
    if the user's address is 4331/EMMK, the line in the body is

    #To: EMMK.4331

Ofislink/Mappermail to outside world:

  Send a message to postmstr/un49.
  In the body of the message, include a #To: line giving the outside address,
    for example

    #To: ed@titipu.resun.com

  All formatting (underline, bold, etc) will be stripped off by the gateway.

In both directions you can have multiple addresses, either on a single #To:
line separated by spaces or on multiple #To: lines.  Be aware that messages
headers will not survive the gateway in either direction.

Since we are talking about this topic again, has anyone figured 
out how to use this gateway from outside the US? Specifically,
friends of mine who for for Unisys in Switzerland can send a
message to postmstr/un49 via OFIS/link with the correct #To:
information, but it never gets to me.

I can send them messages without problems. Any ideas?

Rolf
