The correct address for the address "1:161/148.1" would be the following:

    somebody@p1.f567.234.z1.fidonet.org

This will get it there provided David Dodell's system puts in the point
kludge line, and 234/567 understands the kludge line.  Don't you just
love fidonet routeing software?

Hopefully on day they will go more to a USENET style of addressing?
But the temperature in hell does not seem to be dropping today. :-)
