can anyone tell me how to send mail to some friends of mine who work at IBM? Is there some gateway to the IBM mail network? If so, what is the syntax of the commands to route the mail over IBM? Thanks in advance for your help. jennifer lill lillj@silver.bacs.indiana.edu

The way I seem to recall it, the person working at IBM needs to get some sort of permission prior to sending out mail. IBM.COM is possibly a gateway machine. As IBM uses bitnet mostly whatever works for other bitnet sites should also work. If you check sites garp.mit.edu and ngp.texas.edu, they have the netdir and bitnet files (compressed form), these contain a listing of many sites you may be looking for. Usually the best way if for your friends at IBM to figure out what is their host name and the best route to them from their local postmaster. Cheers!
