Recently, my boss has received a mandate to establish a "campus wide"
electronic mail system.  One of the obstacles in this is a reasonable
link between an Ibm 3081 running VM/CMS and MVS/SP (sp?) (and a couple of
others) and our Dec network.  The 3081 is on bitnet and 3 of our Tops 20's
are on arpanet, so it is possible we could utilize a bitnet/arpanet gateway.
(wiscvm)  
  This raises a few questions about such a gateway:  What turnaround can
we expect?  (minimum, average, and maximum)  Would they be willing to
handle our traffic?  (At least until the project isn't my responsibility.)
Is there a reasonable user interface on the IBM end (even if we have to pay
for it) or will we have to write our own?
  Currently USC has 6 Tops20s, a couple of dozen vax/vms systems, 16 primes,
a 3081 with split personalities, two 4341's (MVS??),  a few vax/unix systems,
and uncountable other mini's and micro's.  Anyone want to tackle the job
of getting them talking together?

Thanks,
Bob Larson
