[comp.sys.apple] whois host apple

Good news for BITNETers.  Apple has become a directly connected Internet
host.  That means the BITNET gateways will recognize addresses of
username@Apple.COM (mjohnson@Apple.COM, for example).

NOTE! <--- Claris.COM is NOT a direct Internet host.  Mail to Claris
come can be successfully sent via 'relay.cs.net' or by UUCP:

username@claris.UUCP or username%Claris.COM@relay.cs.net

HOWEVER, the UUCP map shows the route to 'apple' (also on UUCP) as:
   ames!claris!apple!username

Fer sure, host 'apple' knows about host 'claris' :-) soooo.... an address
of username%Claris.COM@Apple.COM *should(?)* work (I haven't tried sending
by that route, so I don't have first hand confirmation; perhaps, Scott
Lindsey knows?).
