The first questions are purelly informative and the latter ones are more of a "discussion" type. 1) Can arpanet people send msgs to UUCP (and I guess Usenet) sites? Say through Berkeley? I am asking this because I have been sending msgs to UUCP sites for more than a year (for different reasons) and never had any response. 2) Do UUCP people enter the source routing paths manually? You will think there is some automating software for this. 3) Will the UUCP world be ever an Internet domain? I have seen paths like "joe@foovax.UUCP", do any mailer implements this? The following concerns mainly arpanet people: 4) Considering the nature of the UUCP network, (no user to user e-mail, small throughput (which arpanet people should worry about!), no restrictions, etc.) do you consider the UUCP-Arpanet connection usefull or of some value? Or rewording the above, what was the purpose behind connecting the two networks in the first place? ok arpanauts, the ball is in your side, Jose M.
