Following John Chew's posting, can anyone add to our list a link between
Usenet/Internet (etc.) and Dialcom (known in the UK as Telecom Gold)?

ISI operates a mail bridge to DIALCOM for IEEE, NSF and USDA.  For
information write:

		     Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU

The generic bridge is to IEEE's COMPMAIL, but once a message is in Dialcom,
it can go anywhere in their network, including Telecom Gold.

Someone in the states, seeing that I work for Bt, mailed me to ask this
the other day. I rang Telecom Gold in London and was given the firm answer
"No". You cannot route mail from USENET to Dialcom or Vice-versa.
