Usenet isnt really a network. It would more correctly be called a mailing list. Im not trying to sound cocky or anything, since compared to most people on here i'm not really very smart :) I just thought I should straighten you out.

No gateway exists between America Online and any other net or service (a good reason for using Compu$erve instead). /s Murph <Sewall%UConnVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu> [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)

OK, I'll bite what IS Jerry's ID (I asked that last week and was underwhelmed by the nonresponse)? If mail reaches Jerry at AppleLink, why follow the Tinker to Boztek to Cline kludge when a 'straight line' is available? >Here's how you use the gateway: > >Address your mail to > XB.DAS@STANFORD.BITNET >in the SUBJECT field put the AppleLink address such as > U0523 >If you want a short subject separate it from the applelink address by an >exclamation point "!" such as > U0523!Testing the gateway. That procedure WILL work from BITNET (only, I think). It's one heck of a lot easier (and more compatible with just about everyone's mailer) to use: userid@AppleLink.Apple.COM /s Murph <Sewall%UConnVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu> [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
