Thank you to everyone who sent information. Annette DeSchon and Jon Postel have put together an very nice document, "Mail Forwarding Between Telemail and Arpa-Mail Using Intermail". The document is about six pages long so please contact me or Annette DeSchon for a copy, DeSchon@B.ISI.EDU, 1-213-822-1511. Here is a summary of the responses. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ@11.DAS.NET or at (408) 559-7970. ===================================================================== The DASnet(R) Network--DASnet Subscriptions: A DASnet Subscription allows you to exchange electronic mail (e-mail) with anyone on more than 15 systems and networks, INCLUDING: ATT Mail, DASnet(R) Network, DCMETA, Dialcom(SM), EIES, EasyLink(R), Envoy 100(TM), FAX, GeoMail, MCI Mail(R), NWI(R), PeaceNet/EcoNet, Portal Communications(TM), The Source(R), Telemail(R), ATI's Telemail (Japan), Telex, TWICS (Japan), UNISON(R), UUCP, The WELL, Domains e.g. ".COM" and ".EDU". ===================================================================== DA Systems, Inc. 1503 E.

Einarsson) Organization: Marine Research Institute, Reykjavik There is no gateway to DIALMAIL. You have to have a password which you can only use for that system. I asked the DIALMAIL people a year ago if they would make it possible to send mail into DIALMAIL, then they said that they did not have any intentions to make that possible in the near future. Posted: Mon Aug 31, 1987 3:24 PM EDT Msg: MGIH-3120-8073 From: OMNET.SERVICE To: MRI.Iceland.Library Subj: Envoy 100 Interface Info It is possible to communicate with a number of organizations outside Omnet using GTE Telemail systems in other countries, as well as the U.S. These include Envoy, Edunet, NASAMail, GSFCMail, and J.P.L. Exchanging messages between the MAIL (where Omnet is located) and TELEMAIL branches of the network is actually quite easy. You simply address a message as usual, but the address must contain extra information in a special format for the message to be properly routed. Using the correct format is the key to a successful 'interface'. Here is the basic format: [username/organization] system branch/country The system branches are: MAIL/USA - The system that SCIENCEnet is on TNET.TELEMAIL/USA - Many GTE personnel are on this system TELEMAIL/USA - Includes much of NASA GTEMAIL/USA - More GTE personnel TM11/USA - US Dept. of Agriculture system GSFC/USA - Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA TELECOM/CANADA - The Envoy 100 service ATI/JAPAN - The Japanese ACE system PIPMAIL/TAIWAN - TBXSPA/SWEDEN - ITALMAIL/ITALY - The only tricky part is finding out which organization the person you're trying to reach is on. Some possibilities are: NASA (Telemail system) J.P.L. (Telemail system) GSFCmail (GSFC system) TELENET (TNET.Telemail system) Once you have discovered this, you can easily address the message. For someone on NASAnet for example, you address your message like this: [JDOE/NASA] TELEMAIL/USA Sending to someone on the Canadian Envoy 100 system would mean using an address with the following format: [ANortherner/organization] Telecom/Canada Unfortunately, there's no way of doing intersystem directories, so you'll have to get the correct information from the colleague that you're trying to reach. Someone sending a message to you would type: [MRI.Iceland.Library/OMNET] MAIL/USA The square brackets are very important to include, as well as the correct spacing. Please note that different organizations follow different formats. Omnet usernames (unless institutional acronyms) follow the format: first initial, period, last name. NASA organizations omit the period.

However Bell Canada has just enhances ENVOY 100 (it is now called ENVOY MHS) to comlpy with at least some of the levels of X.400 and concurrently added a gateway between ENVOY and ATTMAIL, this is currently in Beta test (so I'm lead to believe by Bell). ATTMAIL is uucp-able but it too is a paid service so I think that they require that you phone them directly, there was a discussion about this recently on the net under the guise of a TELEX to uucp gateway. -- Joan Gargano * Univ. of Calif., Davis, Computing Services * (916) 752-2591 Internet jcgargano@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu BITNET jcgargano@ucdavis UUCP {ucbvax, lll-crg, sdcsvax}!ucdavis!jcgargano
