Since UK is now an official top level domain, you should be able to
simply mail to, for example, jim@cs.hw.ac.uk, if you are on arpanet.

If your mailer doesn't automatically route UK mail, then the two entry
points to note are:
	ARPA:  ucl-cs.arpa (= cs.ucl.ac.uk)
	UUCP:  ukc.uucp    (= ukc.ac.uk)

The UK network can be viewed as a "star network" from either of these
places.

UK has two main subdomains, "ac" (academic) and "co" (commercial).
Since JANET is an academic network, all JANET sites are under "ac.uk"

Uk UUCP sites will be integrated into this naming scheme by the beginning
of next year.
