No. Currently, the best newsgroup for your kind of question is comp.mail.misc. Also, there are at least two recently published books on the subject of how to get from user x on Network A to user y on Network B. They are: Donnalyn Frey and Rick Adams, !%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing & Networks, O'Reilly & Associates (NutShell Handbook), 1989. I believe the suggested retail price is $26.95, but my bookseller whined at the publisher because it had been advertised at $19.95. So he got them to reduce the price of his first order and is passing that price along to his customers while the supply lasts. The Frey and Adams book has been out for a couple of months. Most of the Frey and Adams books is a directory of Networks, with two pages for each. Each entry includes a brief descripiton, addressing, architecture, future plans, facilities, a contact address and a map with gateway sites noted. A good format and a wonderful place to add notes as you find out about new gateways. Regular new editions are planned. John S. Quarterman, The Matrix: Computer Networks and Conferencing Systems Worldwide, Digital Press, 1990, just arrived at my booksellers shop last week. The suggested retail price is $50. At 700 pages, it goes into a lot more detail about the existing networks, with references, etc.
