[comp.dcom.telecom] No Internet/Easylink Gateway Yet

ndallen@contact.uucp (Nigel Allen) (02/21/91)

I asked AT&T Mail's help desk (atthelp2@attmail.com) how to reach
EasyLink mailboxes from the Internet.
 
The reply was quite blunt:
 
> Sir,
> EasyLink does not have a connection to Internet.
> Thank You
> Reggie
> ATTHELP
 
AT&T's EasyLink unit must be working on a gateway, but obviously the
help desk people aren't saying anything about it. (If anybody hears
anything definitive about such a gateway, please post the information
here.)


[Modertor's Note: AT&T Mail itself can be reached from the Internet by
addressing letters to the subscriber's name @attmail.com.  I assume if
there is *some* gateway between AT&T Mail and EasyLink it could be
reached by clever addressing, but I don't know the gateway name, or
even for that matter if it does exist.   PAT]

Try asking if Easylink is reachable via X.400 addressing.

Since MCI Mail connects to both AT&T Mail and Easylink via X.400, I
would assume they would connect to each other that way, too.
