For example I know a person at Penn State (State Penn :-) ) ->that I would like to send mail to but I can't seem to get there from here. I don't know BITNET but uucp you can try uunet. If they want to send you mail the address would be: ...uunet!belvoir-mail1.arpa!dschultz The ... means a site that can connect to uunet. You can send mail to them as USER%SITE.uucp@uunet.uu.net This will work for about 250 registered sites. If PENN State is not registered they can send it via a site like seismo. Uunet works as a bridge for the sites connected to it; it doesn't work for all of them. I might get killed for saying this but contact Rick Adams for more info. Tell me if you want a complete list. Also check to see if you can find a gateway that will transfer mail both ways. Some places (e.g. Rutgers.edu, brl.arpa ) have both uucp and milnet access. -> Also, there seems to be other mailing lists that don't show up on -> the list of lists; I would like to access some of these but don't ->know how. Reply to me AND/OR this list.......but please reply!!!! ->:-) You need to contact people on those lists. I assume you mean things like the USENET groups like os.comp.vms or rec.music.beatles. For that weasel yourself an account on a University machine. I help that helps. Let me know if you need any more info. ...Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------ ARPA: drears@ardec-ac4.arpa UUCP: ...!uunet!ardec-ac4.arpa!drears AT&T: 201-724-6639 Snailmail: Box 210, Wharton, NJ 07885 Govt Nonmail: US Army ARDEC, ATTN SMCAR-FSS-E, Dennis Rears Bldg 94, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806 Flames: /dev/null Quotes: The Human Body is merely a tool for converting the finest wine into urine.
