Hi,

Does anyone out there know of a fast, reliable path or current gateway to
send e-mail between a USENET site in Toronto and a non-UNIX* DEC location
in Toronto? Anywhere in Ontario?

According to the comp.mail.maps, one alternative is to go via decvax
or decwrl as follows:

	decvax	utgpu!neat.cs.toronto.edu!uunet!decwrl!decvax!%s
	decwrl	utgpu!neat.cs.toronto.edu!uunet!decwrl!%s

In fact, we can also go directly to uunet from attcan (and there are
other local alternatives to get to decvax and/or decwrl), but it seems
silly to go deep into the USA just to send an e-mail across town ...

In addition, the time delays seem to be excessive, ranging from 
a few hours to a few days ... and some of the paths I've tried never
make it through :-(

I'm trying to reach the "node::user" combination of - "troa02::casmith".
It seems that the return path from there can include enet.dec.com, but
my attempts to include that in the path to the user have not been
successful.

Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards,
	Bob
