My opinion is that they are being overly picky.  It reminds me of the
PR1ME's the school has for class work.  Only two compilers on there
even know what a TAB character is, all the others complain loudly about
unknown characters.  (One is a ratfor compiler we found from the prime
user group, and used until they got a C compiler, which is the other
compiler to know what a tab is.)

For arpa-net, anlams has the name ANL-MCS.  (i.e. use "ukma!david@ANL-MCS").
I have been having intermittent problems with this address though.
