I am fairly new to USENET/UUCP networking. I would like to be able to send
mail to a wider audience then I currently can. I am familiar with sending
mail to other UUCP sites but am a bit confused when it comes to specifying
an address of a non-UUCP (bitnet, csnet, DECnet) site. If I understand it
correctly, a gateway is a node on a network from which you can access other
networks. For example, seismo is a gateway to the arpanet. I know a path from
my system to seismo. How do I specify an arpanet address? Another example:
I believe that harvard is a gateway into the csnet world. The path from here
to harvard is: uwmcsd1!uwmacc!uwvax!harvard   I want to reply to a message from
username@QUCDNEE1.BITNET   What do I use as an address?  What about DECnet?
I have a path to decuac which I believe is a gateway. Their mail specifications
are node::user. What do I use?

Secondly, what about the inverse? If I address a mail to a csnet only site,
what do I tell him my csnet address is? I only know my UUCP address. Any help
here would be MOST appreciated.

Sorry if this is not the place to post this message. Like I said, I'm fairly
new to all this.
