Subject: UUCP addressing


   Does anyone know, from a Bitnet site, just what would be the best,
most efficient/effective way to send files to a fido node?

   The address I've been given is:
              
        UUCP...!fuug!casino!490!490!20.2012!first-name.last-name

   Or is it possible/allowable for me to send files to the address
below?...as I know it works:

        uunet!p2012.f20.n490.z2!first-name.last-name@uhura.neoucom.edu

  Thanks!!..for any comments, suggestions.

               Joseph

Possible, yes.  Allowable, yes.  Advisable, probably not.

Uhura.neoucom.edu is not on bitnet, is not on fidonet, and tries to
avoid talking to uunet.  Uhura DOES talk to one fidonet site that
polls in an irregular fashion.  If that makes a gateway, then fidonet
members must have the patience of Job.

The only gateway function that uhura.neoucom.edu supports is a relay
between uucp and OARnet.  However, judging from some of the
undeliverable headers that get forwarded to the postmaster, we seem to
have been promoted to "worlds smartest mailer, or the mailer at the
end of the universe"... I suppose we should feel honored.  :-)

I wouldn't be surprised if Toronto had even more opportunities to
gateway mail than does Rootstown, OH (an unincorporated township).
Have you thought of looking for a local gateway?
