I've posted a question similar to this before, but have failed to find a complete answer. My ultimate goal is to reach someone who is on a subset of Tymnet from the Internet. Someone out there (sorry -- I can't remember your name off the top of my head) was kind enough to find the internet address of a machine at tymnet. I've tried sending mail to the postmaster there a couple of times, but have received no reply. I've decided to try to find my own path to the machine. But, first I need to have a very good understanding of how different types of addresses work -- their syntax, grammer, etc. I'm very lucky in having a mailer which will resolve the great majority of addresses that I give it, but it just isn't God. If anybody can direct me to some obscure (or obvious :-)) documentation somewhere on the net (maybe ftp'able), or can give me an e-mail tutorial, I would be most appreciative. If I get enough response, or see enough other people who have similar or identical questions, I will summarize to the net. Thanks -- Thanks Chris Cleeland, Tulane University Disclaimer: I haven't said anything worth not claiming!!!

I called Nutshell yesterday to order a copy of the book "!%@:: A Guide
to Electronic Mail Addressing and Networks" and they said that I would
not be able to order it until the end of the month. The ads they sent
out made it look like a really nice book so I'm looking forward to being
able to get hold of it. If Nutshell takes someone else's order, please
let me know so that I can get my copy!
