[comp.mail.misc] Janet addresses

wm@pitirim.harvard.edu (William J. Mahoney) (04/11/91)

We are an Internet site with access to Bitnet and UUCP. I am trying
to reach someone on the Janet network.  The address that I have been given
is "ak106%phx@cam.eng-jcf.janet".  Mail to this address bounces. Anyone
have any ideas?
