Just a note: uunet is THE primary backbone - or at least, is the backbone
being supported by usenix as a project similar to the support by usenix
of stargate a few years ago.  Uunet IS a backbone - and the typical uucp
address is to list your path relative to a backbone.  If a person is directly
connected to uunet (which is going to be the typical case) then there isnt
any other address that CAN be given.  Note that the portal is going to become
another similar backbone, with its current pricing structure ($35 a month
for unlimited access! at 2400 - there are lots of caveats which I dont want
to get into - check the new products news group if you have access to it to
see the announcemnt; otherwise, pick up any micro based magazine or newspaper
printing in the last 4 months :-).

I know that this is hard for non-uucp sites to deal with; I would suggest
that you attempt to use 
"your local  site!...!your Bitnet->uucp gateway!uunet!persons address" as the path.
