I was asked an interesting question the other day.  Someone I work
with wanted to e-mail another party, but that party only had BIX and
CompuServe.  I have seen postings as to how to contact accounts on
other networks, and wondered how many there could be.  I would also
like to know the Usenet address of any servers that form a bridge
between Usenet and another network.  Networks that I know of and would
like info on contacting are:

BIX
CompuServe
MCI Mail
Genie (is it still around?)
Telex

If you know of another network that can send e-mail, please let me
know.  If you know how to send stuff via Usenet into and out of that
network, please also forward that information.  I will collect the
responses and make up a guide for crossing boundaries.  If you want
the guide, e-mail me for it.  Please give me some time to collect
addresses and contact methods before you start asking for the guide.
