Come on Rick, get with X.400/OSI bandwagon!:) The MX for OMNET uses NASA's POSTMAN gateway at Ames. I know the chart you refer to but I'm not sure how NASA feels about mass use of the Ames gateway. Besides the Ames gateway can sometimes take hours or days to deliver (if at all). ================================================================================ Dave Weissman - Broadband and FDDI LAN Operations Group Snail mail: NSI DECNET (SPAN) - 6153::DWEISSMAN Code 543.8 NSI TCP/IP - dweissman@128.183.112.2 Goddard Space Flight Center SPRINTnet's X.400 - Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 (C:USA,A:TELEMAIL,P:GSFC,FN:DAVID,SN:WEISSMAN) *DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER* I don't speak for nor represent the views of NASA or my company although they would both be happy if I just shut up for once......... *DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*
