I was asked an interesting question the other day. Someone I work with wanted to e-mail another party, but that party only had BIX and CompuServe. I have seen postings as to how to contact accounts on other networks, and wondered how many there could be. I would also like to know the Usenet address of any servers that form a bridge between Usenet and another network. Networks that I know of and would like info on contacting are: BIX CompuServe MCI Mail Genie (is it still around?) Telex If you know of another network that can send e-mail, please let me know. If you know how to send stuff via Usenet into and out of that network, please also forward that information. I will collect the responses and make up a guide for crossing boundaries. If you want the guide, e-mail me for it. Please give me some time to collect addresses and contact methods before you start asking for the guide. dave
