Maybe the original question (from Joe Orost, viz., "what are the valid
ARPA<->UUCP gateways") should be generalized, if you are going to do that,
to "What are the valid gateways between UUCP and the other e-mail
networks?" Presently most of the e-mail networks (Mailnet and CSnet in
particular) are accessible via ARPAnet gateways.  If the response to the
question posed to the ARPA authorities says "no you can't use it," we will
have to find ways to communicate with those other networks, or the UUCP net
will have lost some of its connectivity: some sites are only on Mailnet or
CSnet or BITNET.  Does anyone know of UUCP gateways directly to CSNET-RELAY
and MIT-MULTICS? (Gateways from UUCP to DEC's networks, and to BITNET, have
recently been posted here.) It would obviously be preferable to use such
direct connections where possible, but it appears people have relied up
till now on the universality of the ARPAnet to insure connectivity between
the other networks.
