Hello all,

My friend uses an AS/400 system at work, and has remote login access to many
AS/400 systems (via SNA?) over the German Post Office's DATEX-P X.25 network.
I use a Unix system, and would like to exchange electronic mail with my friend.
According to an IBM engineer I spoke with, the AS/400's native mail protocol 
is SNADS, which runs over SNA; IBM now supposedly offers the SMTP mail 
protocol over TCP/IP as an optional product.

Does anybody know how to send mail from Bitnet or the TCP/IP Internet to an 
IBM system that is hooked up as mentioned above, but is not part of Bitnet?  
Is there a gateway node somewhere that talks both X.400 and SNADS?  Or
an Internet or Bitnet node in Germany that talks SNADS?
Alternatively, how would one hook an AS/400 system up to Bitnet?

Please mail responses to dank@moc.jpl.nasa.gov; I will summarize for the group.
Thanks for any hints!
