Would you believe 'Usenet' is NOT a NET?! Usenet is a list distribution service that runs on UUCP which is sort of a net (using an obsolescent definition of a net :-). UUCP really is a communications protocol, but systems which agree to exchange mail with one another using that protocol are generally referred to as UUCP. Pro-Carolina IS a UUCP site (actually, it uses a protocol which can exchange mail with a host running Unix, but it IS listed in the UUCP map). Your sysop, Don Elton, is the most authoritative source on EXACTLY how you can send mail to BITNET (he sends me mail from time to time - empirical verification :-); I believe it's something like: crash!nosc!rutgers!nodename.bitnet!username Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)
