There is an electronic network accessible in Australia called OMNET. Does anyone know how to talk to this via Internet? Cheers, Liam. -- tgumleyle@cc.curtin.edu.au #Liam E.

OMNET is a Sprintmail/Telemail based email system devoted to the sciences.
This is really a Sprintmail reseller (for all real purposes) that charges
for message storage and many other things.$$$$ To send to someone on OMNET
with USERNAME use the following address
SMTP%"/dd.un=USERNAME/admd=telemail/o=omnet/c=us/@sprint.com"
or if you know there first and last name on OMNET
SMTP%"/fn=FIRSTNAME/sn=LASTNAME/admd=telemail/o=omnet/c=us/@sprint.com"

Come on Rick, get with X.400/OSI bandwagon!:) The MX for OMNET uses NASA's POSTMAN gateway at Ames. I know the chart you refer to but I'm not sure how NASA feels about mass use of the Ames gateway. Besides the Ames gateway can sometimes take hours or days to deliver (if at all). ================================================================================ Dave Weissman - Broadband and FDDI LAN Operations Group Snail mail: NSI DECNET (SPAN) - 6153::DWEISSMAN Code 543.8 NSI TCP/IP - dweissman@128.183.112.2 Goddard Space Flight Center SPRINTnet's X.400 - Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 (C:USA,A:TELEMAIL,P:GSFC,FN:DAVID,SN:WEISSMAN) *DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER* I don't speak for nor represent the views of NASA or my company although they would both be happy if I just shut up for once......... *DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*DISCLAIMER*

If by "talk," you mean "send mail," then you have two (maybe three) options. OMNET is a reseller of time on a SprintMail system. You can send email to users on OMNET either through Sprint Internet relay, Sprint.COM, or through the Commercial Mail Relay (CMR) at Intermail.ISI.EDU. Both are store-and- forward mail gateways. The Sprint.COM relay uses a X.400-like syntax that is still buggy. The Commercial Mail Relay can use the SprintMail X.400 implementation (believe it or not, different from Sprint.COM) and the older "Interconnect" format. 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 The information address for OMNET is: "[OMNET.SERVICE/OMNET]MAIL/USA%TELEMAIL"@Intermail.ISI.EDU or just "OMNET.SERVICE" to OMNET users. (The quotes around addresses in sentences are just to set the addresses off; however, in the indented addresses, they are recommended.) (The Ames Research Center also runs a store-and-forward gateway to SprintMail, but it is intended more for internal NASA use and may be more restrictive than the CMR. The CMR is limited to research and educational uses and Sprint.COM is less restrictive because their users pay for the service.) -- Craig E.
