I need to contact a colleague of mine, who is studying at the Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. The e-mail address he gave me is: ken-nec@deervax.concordia.cdn and he told me that it is gatewayed through UBC (U. of British Columbia) in Vancouver. I tried this address but I was kept telling that such host is unknown. I wonder if the gurus in the netland can shed some light on this problem of mine. Thanks in advance. Wayne.

The .cdn network (a collection of Canadian sites running UBC's EAN X.400 mail system) is gatewayed to the Internet via UBC's CSnet connection. CSNet relay knows about .cdn, however, and your best bet is ken-nec%deervax.concordia.cdn@relay.cs.net Be aware that within the next year (months, optimists would say) many canadian sites, regardless of network affiliation, may start sporting names ending with .ca. There is already one such site (mcgill.ca) officially on the internet. If you have to communicate with canadian sites, be on the look-out for messages announcing the change.
