mabon@infmx.UUCP (Pam Mabon) and c60a-2ce@e260-2b.berkeley.edu (Mikey) write: %% >my knowledge of nets in general is still VERY basic. Some theoretical foundation of how the net-as-we-know-and-love-it came to be can be found in the October 1986 (Vol29,#10) issue of _Communications_of_the_ACM_ in the article entitled "Notable Computer Networks" by John Quarterman and Josiah Hoskins. Page 940 has a full page table of address formats and gateways. In addition, a small piece of advice since you asked, watch how others do it (look at how they advertise their e-mail address in their signature). Some are more verbose than others, but much may be intuited. Based on your respective locations, as evidenced by your return addresses, Pam may have to learn more about how the machine she mails on connects to others to be successful in getting mail out (and back). Mikey probably has all those details handled for him (being at Berkeley, and all).
