Is there a group which carries on discussions concerning the internet / bitnet compatability/cross-communications/whatever? I know I can (and do) mail across, and belong to a few bitnet mailing lists, but there seems to be a real shortage on discussion on this possibility. Disclaimer: "It's mine! All mine!!!" - D. Duck

Do this to subscribe to the listserv redistribution of the info-nets list (I do this even though I'm from the Internet, it's easier): Mail listserv@bitnic.bitnet subject: (anything at all) SUB INFONETS Your (real) Name also talk to LISTSERV@BITNIC.BITNET, it has lots of files, I haven't really found what you're looking for (I've wanted it to refer people to it). also it's so easy it doesn't need much explanation. INTERNET->BITNET: USER@HOST.BITNET is similar to USER@HOST.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU and USER%HOST.BITNET@UUNET.UU.NET, and perhaps @CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU:USER@HOST.BITNET. BITNET->INTERNET: you're on your own, ASK YOUR LOCAL POSTMASTER. also BITNET and CSNET are merging. I'd expect things to be working better a few years from now.
