   I have sent messages successfully to Ru-net (Rutgers at New Brunswick)
using uucp.  The sites on ru-net include: topaz, RED, GREEN, BLUE and a few
others.  topaz appears to be the link between BLUE, RED, etc.  The form as
I have been using is: ...!topaz!usrname@SITE   SITE being RED, BLUE, or
whatever node the user is on.  There is another way to send to Rutgers
using the ARPAnet, but I don't have the information here in front of me.
If needed, send E-mail and I'll reply with the needed info to send to
Ru-net via ARPA.  Hope this is of some help.  Good luck!
(Please note: the SITE on ru-net *MUST* be in caps.)
