Below, I share with you information that I recently received in
      e-mail:

As a relatively frequent user of bitnet-to-uucp communications,
I was dismayed to learn that Penn State may be losing this
capability.

This posting contains questions for informed users, both at Penn State
and elsewhere:  In the event that PSU loses its local gateway to uucp,
can I access uucp through some remote gateway (e.g., PSU bitnet to
another remote bitnet, to a remote uucp gateway)?.  I lack much technical
understanding of this, but I really would appreciate any information
on how I can continue to communicate with uucp addresses from
Penn State's PSUVM.

If you have helpful information, and would be kind enough to respond,
please send replies via e-mail, as I do not often read this board.

      E-mail may be sent to:  MZ6@PSUVM.BITNET
                           or MZ6@PSUVM.PSU.EDU

Thanks in advance for any info,

Michael Marsiske
