I didn't see your query about Fido gates until after I returned from
vacation. This is the most recent information I'm aware of.

369 369/17,369/0 megasys.ifna.org *NOTE* I'm assuming that
megasys is gatewaying
This was obtained via the UUCP maps.
Now, you say, this is all very nice, but how do I send to a node in one of
these nets other than the gateway itself?
Ah! I say, this is where it gets sticky.
There are 2 methods of running a message through a gateway - the old way
and the new way.
The old way was way back when before the domain .ifna.org came into being,
and you would address your message to gateway![[[zone!]net!]node!]user_name.
What do all those brackets mean, you say?
They mean that you can send to gatkway!node!user if the node you want to
send to is in the same network as the gateway, or gateway!net!node!user if
the gateway is in the same zone as the node you want to send to... (I pity
the gateway runner who allows different zone gatewaying...)
The new way is to send to gateway!fnode.nnet.zzone.ifna.org!user_name
So, for example, if I wanted to send to the sysop at 1:104/32, I would send to
milehi.ifna.org!f32.n104.z1.ifna.org!sysop. If your mailer is set up properly,
you should be able to just send to f32.n104.z1.ifna.org!sysop.
By the way... these addresses are all on UUCP. If you're not on UUCP, use
your favorite gateway (I can't tell ya how, ask someone else...) (well I could,
but that's not the purpose of this document.)
If I missed anything, shoot me... but first drop me a line.
