There is also a MX out there for OMNET (omnet.nasa.gov).  According to
a little chart I have hanging in my office, you should be able to
send to:

	username@omnet.nasa.gov

I haven't tried this.  But I have used:

	username@gsfcmail.nasa.gov 

which goes to GSFCMAIL (which is also one of the Sprintmail/Telemail based 
email systems).  I'm told that <long address>@sprint.com is a faster way of 
getting your mail where you want it to go.  I prefer to type as little as 
possible.
