ajay@cs.Buffalo.EDU (Ajay Shekhawat) (02/14/91)
Sometime ago I posted a query asking for the "Internetworking Guide". Someone sent me a copy, and I'm posting it here. Methinks I'll make it a fortnightly/monthly posting, and if you have any updates, etc., send them over to me or the author. Enjoy.. Ajay.. Ajay Shekhawat <Dept. of Comp.

Chew $Header: netmail,v 1.12 90/07/06 20:38:28 john Exp $ For those of you who were wondering what happened to the June 1990 issue, there wasn't one, because of a lack of important changes to the data, and because I've been busy with other things. Even worse (:-), there will not be an August 1990 issue as I will be temporarily between net addresses as I take a nice long holiday between jobs on different continents. If you have information to add or requests for subscriptions, send them as usual to me at <poslfit@gpu.UTCS.UToronto.CA> and they should catch up to me with some delay wherever I end up. I'm off to enjoy my summer now, bye! -- John COPYRIGHT NOTICE This document is Copyright 1990 by John J. Chew. All rights reserved.

It represents the aggregate knowledge of the readers of comp.mail.misc and many contributors elsewhere. If you know of any corrections or additions to this file, please read the file format documentation below and then mail to me: John J. Chew <poslfit@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca>. If you do not have access to electronic mail (which makes me wonder about the nature of your interest in the subject, but there does seem to be a small such population out there) you can call me during the month of July at +1 416 979 7166 between 11:00 and 24:00 EDT (UTC-4h) and most likely talk to my answering machine (:-). DISTRIBUTION (news) This list is posted monthly to Usenet newsgroups comp.mail.misc and news.newusers.questions. (mail) I maintain a growing list of subscribers who receive each monthly issue by electronic mail, and recommend this to anyone planning to redistribute the list on a regular basis. (FTP) Internet users can fetch this guide by anonymous FTP as ~ftp/pub/docs/ internetwork-mail-guide on Ra.MsState.Edu (130.18.80.10 or 130.18.96.37) [Courtesy of Frank W.

[Courtesy of Art St. George] HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Each entry in this file describes how to get from one network to another. To keep this file at a reasonable size, methods that can be generated by transitivity (A->B and B->C gives A->B->C) are omitted. Entries are sorted first by source network and then by destination network. This is what a typical entry looks like: #F mynet #T yournet #R youraddress #C contact address if any #I send to "youraddress@thegateway" For parsing purposes, entries are separated by at least one blank line, and each line of an entry begins with a `#' followed by a letter. Lines beginning with `# ' are comments and need not be parsed. Lines which do not start with a `#' at all should be ignored as they are probably mail or news headers. #F (from) and #T (to) lines specify source and destination networks. If you're sending me information about a new network, please give me a brief description of the network so that I can add it to the list below. The abbreviated network names used in #F and #T lines should consist only of the characters a-z, 0-9 and `-' unless someone can make a very convincing case for their favourite pi character.

As a supplement, here are networks known *not* to have email gateways.
Network Comments
------- ---------------------------------------------------
American Online Masato Ogawa (ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp) confirms
that there is no gateway.
Dialog mcmahan@netcom.UUCP (Dave Mc Mahan) reports that
nobody responded to his query in October 1990.
GEnie No gateway yet, but Bill Louden, the General Manager of
GEnie, has stated publically that they are currently doing
research into the feasibility of a gateway. Trust me,
if such a gateway is set up, you'll hear about it.
By the way, the machine genie.com is a red herring.
HandsNet oze3@quads.uchicago.edu (J. Daniel Ozeran) reports
that nobody responded to his query in January 1991.
Midas Internation headquarters in Chicago
IO00393@MAINE.BITNET (Pete) reports that nobody
responded to his query in January 1991.
Nifty-Serve a Japanese BBS
suzuki@sai.vtt.fi (Makoto Suzuki) contacted the
system operators and confirmed that there is no gateway.
Prodigy by IBM and Sears
censors email
charges the sender of the mail message
Censorship details available from comp.risks issue 10.46.
Robert Halloran (rkh@mtune.ATT.COM) notes:
[GEnie, Prodigy, and American Online] have all apparently been approached more
than once about gateways, and have refused to let all that un-screened (and
FREE!) mail onto their respective networks....
Denise Caruso (SF Chronicle, 11 Nov 1990, page D-14) writes:
It's common knowledge that almost all the online services
censor their membership to greater or lesser degrees.
[Prodigy is] widely acknowledged to be losing money on the [email]

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
Each entry in this file describes how to get from one network to another.
To keep this file at a reasonable size, methods that can be generated by
transitivity (A->B and B->C gives A->B->C) are omitted. Entries are sorted
first by source network and then by destination network. This is what a
typical entry looks like:
#F mynet
#T yournet
#R youraddress
#C contact address if any
#I send to "youraddress@thegateway"
For parsing purposes, entries are separated by at least one blank line,
and each line of an entry begins with a `#' followed by a letter. Lines
beginning with `# ' are comments and need not be parsed. Lines which do
not start with a `#' at all should be ignored as they are probably mail
or news headers.
#F (from) and #T (to) lines specify source and destination networks.
If you're sending me information about a new network, please give me
a brief description of the network so that I can add it to the list
below. The abbreviated network names used in #F and #T lines should
consist only of the characters a-z, 0-9 and `-' unless someone can
make a very convincing case for their favourite pi character.
These are the currently known networks with abbreviated names:

research into the feasibility of a gateway. Trust me,
if such a gateway is set up, you'll hear about it.

OMNET Craig E. Ward (cew@isi.edu) explains:
Go either through Sprint Internet relay, Sprint.COM, or through the Commercial
Mail Relay (CMR) at Intermail.ISI.EDU.
Through the CMR, you can send mail to OMNET users with this format:
"[omnet.user/OMNET]MAIL/USA%TELEMAIL"@Intermail.ISI.EDU
Users on OMNET will need to use an embedded header, i.e. in the body of the
message text (almost as ugly as X.400, but not quite) in a message to
"[INTERMAIL/USCISI]SM66/USA" to get mail back to you:

this:

Thus spake raymond@math.berkeley.edu (Raymond Chen): > > SAPONET the South African Post Office's X.25 network (#6550) > s873561@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Michael Barnett) reports > that the alleged gateway via > user%sapo.net.com@ames.arc.nasa.gov > simply bounces.

Yes, SAPONET is the SA Post Office's X.25 network. It is, however, merely a physical network, on which subscribers can rent X.25 ports, PVCs, SVCs, attatch PADs, etc. There is _NO_ mail facility or any other type of Value Added Service. I have been able to connect from Saponet to Tymnet, so I assume that a reverse connection is possible, but I do not know what the NUA would be to connect in this way. South Africa _does_ have at least two networks, apart from the Fidonet network here. One is Uninet-ZA, which links the universities. The Uninet office also administer the .ZA domain. You might wish to contact VICSHAW@FRD.AC.ZA, or barrett@daisy.ee.und.ac.za or ccfj@quagga.ru.ac.za for more information. Uninet-ZA runs (mostly) on TCP/IP over leased lines, with a few IBM hosts running RSCS, and Vaxen running Decnet. There is also a UUCP-based network called Sanet, which includes a portion of Uninet-ZA. As with the UUCP network in the states, there is no postmaster for the net as a whole. To get mail to someone on a non-academic machine in SA, try using a bang-path of ``...!ddsw1!olsa99!machine!user'', or ``user%machine%olsa99@ddsw1.mcs.com'' ---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=--- Paul Nash Free Range Computer Systems cc paul@frcs.UUCP ...!uunet!m2xenix!frcs!paul

Yes, Saponet is net number 6550 in the international X.25 world. As Paul says, there is no mail service on Saponet, and no reason why there should be a gateway at Ames. Saponet is just an X.25 network, linked to other X.25 networks around the world. Of course, people are free to use Saponet as a transport for electronic mail, with their own protocols above the X.25 layer, and many people do so. Sites belonging to UNINET-ZA (the South African academic and research network) were reachable through a Fidonet gateway for some time before the ZA top level domain was registered in November 1990, but the Fidonet route to is deprecated now, and will go away some time. UNINET-ZA has absolutely nothing to do with SAPONET. Further information about sites belonging to UNINET-ZA is available from UNINET@FRD.AC.ZA. I am certainly not the postmaster for SAPONET. There is no postmaster for SAPONET. > I have been able to connect from Saponet to Tymnet, so I assume that > a reverse connection is possible, but I do not know what the NUA would > be to connect in this way. It would be xxx6550yyyyyyyyzz, where xxx is whatever is needed on the originating network to tell it you want to make a call to an address that is on a different network (two likely values for xxx are either the null string or the digit zero, but I think that other values are also permitted by CCITT rules, and the choice will vary from one net to another); yyyyyyyy is the SAPONET address; and zz is the subaddress (if any). --apb Alan Barrett, Dept. of Electronic Eng., Univ. of Natal, Durban, South Africa Internet: barrett@ee.und.ac.za UUCP: m2xenix!quagga!undeed!barrett
ajay@CS.BUFFALO.EDU (Ajay Shekhawat) (04/05/91)
This list is current as of 04 April 1991, I think (but then,
one never knows: things change so rapidly).
Would someone like to "officially" maintain this list?
I'll strapped for time in the coming months...

INTRODUCTION
This file documents methods of sending mail from one network to another.
It represents the aggregate knowledge of the readers of comp.mail.misc
and many contributors elsewhere. If you know of any corrections or
additions to this file, please read the file format documentation below
and then mail to me: John J. Chew <poslfit@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca>. If
you do not have access to electronic mail (which makes me wonder about
the nature of your interest in the subject, but there does seem to be
a small such population out there) you can call me during the month of
July at +1 416 979 7166 between 11:00 and 24:00 EDT (UTC-4h) and most
likely talk to my answering machine (:-).
DISTRIBUTION
(news) This list is posted monthly to Usenet newsgroups comp.mail.misc and
news.newusers.questions.
(mail) I maintain a growing list of subscribers who receive each monthly
issue by electronic mail, and recommend this to anyone planning to
redistribute the list on a regular basis.
(FTP) Internet users can fetch this guide by anonymous FTP as ~ftp/pub/docs/
internetwork-mail-guide on Ra.MsState.Edu (130.18.80.10 or 130.18.96.37)
[Courtesy of Frank W. Peters]
(Listserv) Bitnet users can fetch this guide from the Listserv at UNMVM.
Send mail to LISTSERV@UNMVM with blank subject and body consisting of
the line "GET NETWORK GUIDE". [Courtesy of Art St. George]
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
Each entry in this file describes how to get from one network to another.
To keep this file at a reasonable size, methods that can be generated by
transitivity (A->B and B->C gives A->B->C) are omitted. Entries are sorted
first by source network and then by destination network. This is what a
typical entry looks like:
#F mynet
#T yournet
#R youraddress
#C contact address if any
#I send to "youraddress@thegateway"
For parsing purposes, entries are separated by at least one blank line,
and each line of an entry begins with a `#' followed by a letter. Lines
beginning with `# ' are comments and need not be parsed. Lines which do
not start with a `#' at all should be ignored as they are probably mail
or news headers.
#F (from) and #T (to) lines specify source and destination networks.
If you're sending me information about a new network, please give me
a brief description of the network so that I can add it to the list
below. The abbreviated network names used in #F and #T lines should
consist only of the characters a-z, 0-9 and `-' unless someone can
make a very convincing case for their favourite pi character.
These are the currently known networks with abbreviated names:
applelink AppleLink (Apple Computer, Inc.'s in-house network)
attmail AT&T Mail,AT&T's commercial e-mail service.
bitnet international academic network
bix Byte Information eXchange: Byte magazine's commercial BBS
bmug Berkeley Macintosh Users Group
compuserve commercial time-sharing service
connect Connect Professional Information Network (commercial)
easynet Easynet (DEC's in-house mail system)
envoy Envoy-100 (Canadian commercial mail service)
fax Facsimile document transmission
fidonet PC-based BBS network
geonet GeoNet Mailbox Systems (commercial)
internet the Internet
mci MCI's commercial electronic mail service
mfenet Magnetic Fusion Energy Network
nasamail NASA internal electronic mail
peacenet non-profit mail service
sinet Schlumberger Information NETwork
span Space Physics Analysis Network (includes HEPnet)
sprintmail Sprint's commercial mail service (formerly Telemail)
thenet Texas Higher Education Network
#R (recipient) gives an example of an address on the destination network,
to make it clear in subsequent lines what text requires subsitution.
#C (contact) gives an address for inquiries concerning the gateway,
expressed as an address reachable from the source (#F) network.
Presumably, if you can't get the gateway to work at all, then knowing
an unreachable address on another network will not be of great help.
#I (instructions) lines, of which there may be several, give verbal
instructions to a user of the source network to let them send mail
to a user on the destination network. Text that needs to be typed
will appear in double quotes, with C-style escapes if necessary.

PART - II
NETWORKS KNOWN *NOT* TO HAVE ACCESS FROM INTERNET
Compiled by Raymond Chen <raymond@math.berkeley.edu> .
Network Comments (and userids of people who asked about it
and didn't post summaries)
------- ---------------------------------------------------
American Online Masato Ogawa (ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp) confirms
that there is no gateway.
British Telecom rbatt@adam.adelaide.edu.au (R Batt) reports that
Gold BT is a member of DialCom (qv).
DialCom The gateway was shut down in March 1990 for financial
reasons. Individual customers may have established
private relays through the Commercial Mail Relay (CMR).
Information available on the CMR is available from
Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU
Dialog mcmahan@netcom.UUCP (Dave Mc Mahan) reports that
nobody responded to his query in October 1990.
Easylink a Western Union service
bruceh@CV.HP.COM (Bruce Hauge) reports that as of March
1991 there is no gateway yet, but they're working on it.
Eurokom christ@issun3.stc.nl (Brian Christiansen) reports that
nobody responded to his query in February 1991.
Fidelity Investments ea47916@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Eric Adams) reports that
(Dallas) nobody responded to his query in February 1991.
GEnie No gateway yet, but Bill Louden, the General Manager of
GEnie, has stated publically that they are currently doing
research into the feasibility of a gateway. Trust me,
if such a gateway is set up, you'll hear about it.
By the way, the machine genie.com is a red herring.
GoldNet chaim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Chaim Dworkin) reports that
GoldNet is part of DialCom (qv).
HandsNet oze3@quads.uchicago.edu (J. Daniel Ozeran) reports
that nobody responded to his query in January 1991.
Midas Internation headquarters in Chicago
IO00393@MAINE.BITNET (Pete) reports that nobody
responded to his querh in January 1991.
Nifty-Serve a Japanese BBS
suzuki@sai.vtt.fi (Makoto Suzuki) contacted the
system operators and confirmed that there is no gateway.
OMNET Craig E. Ward (cew@isi.edu) explains:
Go either through Sprint Internet relay, Sprint.COM, or through the Commercial
Mail Relay (CMR) at Intermail.ISI.EDU.
Through the CMR, you can send mail to OMNET users with this format:
"[omnet.user/OMNET]MAIL/USA%TELEMAIL"@Intermail.ISI.EDU
Users on OMNET will need to use an embedded header, i.e. in the body of the
message text (almost as ugly as X.400, but not quite) in a message to
"[INTERMAIL/USCISI]SM66/USA" to get mail back to you:
Forward: Internet
To: Gumley_LE@cc.curtin.edu.au
<Blank-Line>
You can get more information about the Commercial Mail Relay from:
Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU
Paranet vac163w@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au (vacation) 4 Dec 90

Use the gateway at sprint.com This requires knowledge of the recipient's
X.400 address on Telenet (now Sprintnet). Your SMTP address will look like
this:
smtp%"/dd.un=username/admd=telemail/o=gte/c=us/@sprint.com"
the username will be the recipient's username on the system and o will be
the organization.
VNET (IBM) kkrueger@zeus.unomaha.edu (Kurt Krueger) 16 Feb 91
Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link (WELL)
