We communicate via e-mail with our local sales Rep.  The mail gets
delivered usually within minutes.   The path is: (get this)

Our Allin1 => DEC message-router => PMDF => Jnet => Bitnet => internet =>
  DEC Easynet => DEC message router => DEC ALLin1.

Needless to say the return addresses are mutilated beyond recognition but
it get there and our DEC Salesfolk are able to originate messages
back.

The mail does 2 continental hops before delivery.
