To answer both of these questions, the best gateway I know of, and use
every other day to send mail to Clarkson <CLVM.. Home of the Twilight
Zone Relay Station for the initiated..>, is psuvax1, aka "The Center
of the Virtual Universe".  To send mail to BITNET from UUCP, simply
pick your favorite path to psuvax1!<BITNET node>.BITNET - example:
               ...!ihnp4!psuvax1!ACCOUNT@CLVM.BITNET
would send a mail or whatever file to 'ACCOUNT' on Clarkson's VM machine.

To go from BITNET to UUCP on a VM system is REALLY easy; to send mail to
UUCP you do this:    MAIL <user>@<node>.UUCP
Your mailer should automagically route the file to PSUVAX1 or another
gateway, and perform the path writing, etc. for you.  Try this to get a
list of command on PSUVAX1 from BITNET: SMSG RSCS CMD PSUVAX1 HELP
<Vaxenites, replace with your command, as for Un*xites>

Mail can be sent to the ARPANet the same way, just tack on .ARPA when going
to psuvax1..  I love smart mailers! :-)
