"smail" says rutgers because you haven't RTFM 8^)... I'll quote from the preamble to the uucp pathalias map entry file "u.can.1" - # This file contains routing information for the Canadian .Ca subdomains. # The purpose of this preamble is to shut up pathalias if the local host # does not declare any other links that should be used for this purpose. # IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that local gateways, to NetNorth, CDNnet, and # the Internet, be identified, and by their permission you should add lines # like: # # nngw netnorth-ca-gws(DEDICATED) # cdngw cdnnet-ca-gws(DEDICATED) # inetgw internet-ca-gws(DEDICATED) [...] Netnorth is the Canadian contingent of BitNet. In this case "nngw" would, with their permission, be one of "utgpu", "utai" or similar here in Toronto. In other areas the gateway member list should be consulted & the local members queried for possible routing. The additions would be kept in your local file of fixes etc. for the pathalias database.
