[mn.general] Need info on telemail

tbc@juniper04.cray.com (Tom Craig) (04/11/91)

Does anyone know anything about a mail system called "telemail"? A friend of
mine who works at the Science Museum of Minnesota just got access to email
through telemail. She is able to exchange mail with Palmer Station in
Antarctica, fer cryin out loud, so they must go through the internet 
somewhere. Is this a commercial system that only allows the exchange
of mail between clients, or is there a way to get mail to and from an
internet site (specifically, here at Cray)? I have a hardcopy of a
message that came from Palmer Station to the museum, and the only header
information seems to be the address - myfriend@telemail. I tried to send
mail to that address and also myfriend@telemail.bitnet (just for the heck
of it). No luck. Does this ring any bells with anyone? What information
should I be trying to dig up to enable us to exchange email?

Email info to tbc@cray.com, please. I'm not a regular reader of this group,
though I will try to monitor it for the next week or so.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Craig
