Summary: There are other gateways also


   Jerry Bain (FidoNet 170/220) and I also have a gateway.  Instead of fooling
around with uucp, we use Ymodem-Batch to transfer packets.  Zmodem could be
used since rz and sz are being used on the Unix end.  We use archive to 
compress our packets [please, no flames about ARC...  we use it because more
than one file can be put together and compressed a fair amount].
   The Fido end calls the Unix box and instead of starting up /bin/[c,k]sh or
uucico, the gateway program is called.  It does a little housekeeping and
then rz and sz are spawned.
   Batched and unbatch news are both supported as well as regular mail.  We
are not yet ready to release the executables, but we SHOULD be by the end of
the month.  Routing through the gateway is done by sending to:
           ...!mfbbs!slick!NET!NODE!USER_NAME
   Where USER_NAME is first and last name, separated by a non-alphanumeric
character.
   Usenet feeds on FidoNet(EchoMail) are available.  Contact Jerry Bain or
me if you are interested.
   For mail the other direction (FidoNet to Usenet), send the message to
170/220.  The first line of the message MUST contain the keyword
     UUCP: routing!user
so an example might be:
     UUCP: mfbbs!marc.

**NOTE:  mail should NOT be routed through okstate.  It is disappering and
         pbox [a private machine] is going to take its place.
