Well, since most Usenet sites can get to Rutgers, and since Rutgers can route mail to just about anywhere pretty well, try rutgers!drunivac.bitnet!tlimonce (for example) to get to tlimonce@drunivac.bitnet. Then again, if you can handle domain routing, name%node.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu works for name@node on bitnet. (I used to be on Bitnet exclusively and I had to learn to make-due. For many sites, the only way they can get on any net is Bitnet and they are very thankful for having that much.) > Doug Merritt {pyramid,apple}!xdos!doug -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University

I send mail to BITNET all the time (just about every day...) Just send it to
!gateway!username%node.bitnet
for example: !ccvax.iastate.edu!george%msus1.bitnet
(assuming you have a smart router on your end I think...)
