In particular, >can I use it to route mail to sales reps? Gee, right up my alley. Sun Microsystems operates a world wide network called SWAN (Sun Wide Area Network). Most of the bigger sales offices inside Sun are either on SWAN or soon will be. For those offices not on SWAN, email is supported via uucp. To reach a person at any Sun office, you should be able to do one of: (order of preference) 1) Mail firstinitiallastname@Sun.COM (For instance, I'm jthompson@Sun.COM.) This breaks down sometimes due to duplicate aliases. (I'm one, I'm not really jthompson@Sun. If you get one of these you'll get a mail message back with a list of suggestions, and their locations. (I'm really jthomp@sun.com.) 2) Get their login/alias and the name of their mailhost. (suncin, in this case. Mail to suncin!user@Sun.COM. Sun maintains an Internet connection, so he should be able to reach you at dmocsny@uceng.UC.EDU. Hoping this wasn't too comercial..

Someone (I) would like to confirm that Sun will continue to be connected (to the Internet, or what its becoming), via BARnet. BARnet is our regional NSFnet backbone.
