1. The address should be user@multics.bham.ac.uk note the transposition of the
    last two domains.

2. This appears to be a JANET host not an APRA host; therefore the route is:
     user%multics.bham.ac.uk@cs.ucl.ac.uk
   and likewise for all JANET hosts from ARPA.

3. See the article in CACM Oct 86 Vol 29 No. 10 "Notable Computer Networks"
    where JANET and its domains and gateways are listed.

3. See signature for other routes.
