[comp.mail.misc] reaching VNET

daqing@milton.u.washington.edu (Daqing Wan) (08/28/90)

================================================================================
	I am interested in reaching a machine at IBM San Jose, California. 
	The name of the machine is SJMVM2 and it is connected to the vnet. 
	Does anybody  know   how I could send mail from internet  to that 
	machine?  Or somebody willing to forward mail automatically there
	for 2 months. Any suggestion or help will be greatly appreciated.

	 A poor student trying to get in touch with his girlfriend who is
	at IBM with an internship.

People wonder all the time about how to send internet mail to IBM'ers
at VNET sites.  The answer is that there is no way to send mail from
Internet to an arbitrary VNET address.

However, if you need to correspond with someone at IBM, you can suggest
that your IBM'er register him/her self with the corporate internet
gateway.  It's easy; they just have to edit a form online and have
their manager E-mail it in.

The addresses look like my internet registration:
