In fact, it doesn't even show up in the UUCP maps anymore. Please don't try and use ihnp4 as a "smart-host", it will only cause you sorrow and heartbreak. :-) Tim Thompson

You can send _mail_ to someone on PeaceNet (or EcoNet) by
addressing it to:
INTERNET: cdp!<someone>%arisia.xerox.com@stanford
This is incomplete and unparseable. The stuff to the right of the "@"
must be a fully-qualified domain name, and using two sorts of
punctuation ("!" and "%") in the local part of the address introduces
potential ambiguities. Eric, I have no doubt that you might be able
to get there, but other mail systems may not resolve the ambiguities
in the same way that yours does.
Just guessing, but since xerox.com is a legal domain, you might be
able to get there as "cpd!someone@arisia.xerox.com".
