INTERBIT is the name of the pseudo-node to which mail for the Internet
from BITNET is supposed to be sent (the distributed tables point to
the gateway as SMTP@INTERBIT).  The distributed route tables currently
indicate that INTERBIT is a node hung off CUNYVM.

Some nodes are also serving as BITNET -> Internet gateways by moving
INTERBIT traffic through their own gateways.

However, for those who are sending mail from the Internet -> BITNET,
the INTERBIT scheme doesn't work - there is no INTERBIT node on the
Internet.  Therefore, until we can work out a better scheme for
this (and there will be discussion at the BITNET technical meeting
this Saturday in Anaheim), then mail destined for BITNET can be
sent as user%node.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU from an Internet site.
