What I recall is that the BITNET mailer uses something called BSMTP.
Since all they have is file transfer, they transfer a file with the
SMTP commands and then get one back with the replies.  Solomon from
UWISC mentioned it at the gateway meeting.  It comes to mind that it
was Alan Crosswell from Columbia (EACUS@CUVMB on bitnet) who wrote it.
