I would like to thank everyone who responded to my query on how to get to
BITNET. Several people mentioned "private" gateways via their own machines
(which I interpret to mean: don't publish them, so I won't). From USENET,
many people said that "psuvax1!host.bitnet!user" would work, but several
others reported that they had had messages bounced trying to go this way.
From the ARPAnet, "person%host.BITNET@WISCVM" supposedly works. What
ACTUALLY worked for us was using our CSNET connection (we are not on ARPA
except via CSNET). The CSNET address "person%host.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA"
definitely DOES work for us Thanks again for the replies.
