Eucon nodes can send mail to the world, except for Eunet. 2. Eunet nodes can send mail to the world, except for Eucon. 3. The world can send mail to either, as long as they don't attempt to send it *thru* the other. In the above, receive/from can be substituted for send/to. In the above Sublink appears to be synonymous with Eucon. I feel appalled that in this time of increased connectivity, we now are creating a situation in which some people on Usenet cannot communicate with other people on Usenet. I have no desire to cast blame on anyone, but I feel that this situation is unacceptable. jim -- Jim Budler address = uucp: ...!{decwrl,uunet}!eda!jim domain: jim@eda.com
