    Hello, Hello

    I've got another HP related communication problem.
    On the address header his address is:

    <ptc%hpindda@hp-sde.sde.hp.com>

    When I tried to reply to this account it bounced :-(

    My questions are:

    How come he can send a message to me but I cannot return one??
    Is Bitnet messing this up or should I try to connect up through a
    Bitnet/HP address???  If so, what would a Bitnet-HP address look
    like? Are there problems with the basic HP communications nodes?
    Should I sell my HP stock?

    Thanks (again) for the help!!

    Scott


Don't sell your HP stock yet.  I can send mail out to BITNET just
fine (and receive replies inward) so it should work.  A couple of
possibilities:

	1) try ptc%hpindda@hp-sde.hp.com
	
	2) try ptc%hpindda@hplabs.hp.com
	
	3) try ptc%hpgnd@hplabs.hp.com

I would guess that all three of those will work.  Your hpgnd address
is in theory supposed to work but I've never actually seen it work
yet.  Meanwhile,  the syntax is:  user%node@<internet host>.  You can
substitute hp-sde.hp.com or hplabs.hp.com for <internet host>.
