I don't know how to get email from bix to internet, but to get from internet to bix, try the following: user@dcibix.das.net The bad news is that DASnet is a commercial gateway service, and someone has to pay for it. I understand that bix subscribers can ask for the service, and can be charged for it by Byte Magazine who in turn pay DASnet. For more information, check out the "Inter-Network Mail Guide".

Yes, DASnet does indeed have such a service. I understand it's kind of expensive, but if you *have* to send stuff between the two services, it does work. >For more information, check out the "Inter-Network Mail Guide".
