Tamkin) Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: Re: Internet Gateways to Commercial Networks Message-ID: Date: 5 Sep 89 07:34:43 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Lines: 20 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us In Digest volume 9, issue 347, Patrick Townson responds to Lang Zerner's request for the syntax of writing between commercial nets and the UUCP universe: | As for AT&T, MCI and Compuserve, maybe someone from | those places reading the Digest can send along the methodology involved | in getting mail to the Internet. PT From CompuServe, the form is >INTERNET:user@site.domain or >INTERNET:bang!path!sequence!user. The greater-than sign and the colon are required; I don't know whether capitalizing the word "INTERNET" is vital. The word INTERNET is used even for sites that are not actually on the Internet: for example, I regularly exchange mail between CompuServe and pubnet sites with this syntax. At present CIS is not yet surcharging for such mail.
