[mod.computers.vax] Using jnet to get to the arpanet

iglesias@UCI.EDU (Mike Iglesias) (10/30/85)

We just got jnet up on our VMS system, and I'd like to know how
to send mail via BITNET to arpanet/internet sites.  I found some
documentation on CSNET-SH that showed how to use the SMTPUSER
at WISCVM, but the thought of typing all that stuff in when I want
to send a message turns my stomach.  Is there a better way?
If not, does someone have a program/DCL file that builds the
punch file to send to SMTPUSER at WISCVM?

Thanks,

One can obtain a command procedure called SENDGATE from INFO@BITNIC, the
BITNET Network Information Center.  Originally written by Paul Kunz of SLAC,
this command procedure is available for VMS and VM, so be sure to specify that
you need the VMS version.

As you can see from the address I used to post this from VMSmail, some even
better things are under development.
