I've posted a question similar to this before, but have failed to find a
complete answer.  My ultimate goal is to reach someone who is on a subset
of Tymnet from the Internet.  Someone out there (sorry -- I can't remember
your name off the top of my head) was kind enough to find the internet
address of a machine at tymnet.  I've tried sending mail to the postmaster
there a couple of times, but have received no reply.

I've decided to try to find my own path to the machine.  But, first I
need to have a very good understanding of how different types of addresses
work -- their syntax, grammer, etc.  I'm very lucky in having a mailer
which will resolve the great majority of addresses that I give it, but
it just isn't God.

If anybody can direct me to some obscure (or obvious :-)) documentation
somewhere on the net (maybe ftp'able), or can give me an e-mail tutorial,
I would be most appreciative.  If I get enough response, or see enough
other people who have similar or identical questions, I will summarize
to the net.

Thanks
