 Our BBS in Field Services in Piscataway is 1:107/310 in FidoNet.  We are also 
 'ieeefs.ieee.org'.  Using the UFGATE technology to gate messages between 
 Internet and FidoNet,  we serve as a gateway to reach members who would rather 
 receive their mail on a FidoNet BBS.  This will all be accomplished thru a 
 rather large alias list on a machine known as 'ieee.org', so that messages to 
 'user@ieee.org' will get re-addressed to the user's true mailbox or bounced as 
 'unknown user'.  

 I am on the joint RAB/TAB E-Mail sub-committee which is heading this project 
 and will announce all details as permitted to be made public by the 
 committee.
