>Murph, can you please send me the details on the MCI interconnect to the >mail net?? ------------------------------Original Message----------------------------- From: David K. Ely <dely@NRI.Reston.VA.US> Thank you for your request about MCI Mail. I am the technical POC for the MCI Mail Gateway project. The Internet<->MCI Mail Gateway is an experimental mail system being developed by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (NRI), a non-profit research organization. NRI is currently researching interconnecting various mail services. Currently, there is no charge for sending mail from the Internet to MCI Mail. In order to send mail to users on MCI Mail, use one of the following addresses: accountname@mcimail.com -or- mci_id@mcimail.com -or- full_user_name@mcimail.com For instance, I have a mailbox on MCI Mail. You could send mail to me via either dely@mcimail.com or 379-3286@mcimail.com or David_Ely@mcimail.com. Users on MCI Mail can also send messages to the Internet. At the "Command:" prompt, type "create <carriage return>. Then the user performs the following: (NOTE the "TO:", "EMS:" and "MBX:" strings are prompts provided by MCI Mail. Command: create <return> TO: David K. Ely (EMS) EMS: INTERNET MBX: dely@NRI.Reston.VA.US This address is translated to: "David K. Ely" <dely@NRI.Reston.VA.US> by the Gateway. Mail sent from MCI Mail to the Internet is charged by MCI Mail. One final note: Feel free to use the gateway as often as you'd like, but be forewarned: The gateway is still not considered fully operational; sometimes mail will be delayed (usually less than 24 hours.) If you have any more questions, or if I can be of further assistance, please feel free to email me. David K.
