[comp.mail.misc] Path to "vesta"

jdrew@CS.UOREGON.EDU (09/27/89)

I recently received mail from someone at:

	name%vesta.UUCP@mcnc.org

Unfortunately, the message was cut off before the end, and I have been unable
to get back through to him (or her), because of some sort of a path fault.

mcnc.org does not seem to wish to connect me to vesta, and netihe
(oops, neither) does uunet.  Any suggestions?

The person doesn't have netnews access, either, so I can't contact him/her
through that tried and true (but costly) method.

Please e-mail me any comments.  Thanks.

You could just try sending to name@vesta.uucp and let your favorite
gateway try and figure it out.

Slight techical hitch:

Script started on Mon Oct  2 09:47:46 1989
lakart!dg(~)[61]-> uuhosts vesta
UUCP mail path from lakart to vesta:
lakart!dg(~)[62]-> ^D
script done on Mon Oct  2 09:48:03 1989

vesta.uucp will be hard to reach from anywhere.
