Thank you very much. >One source for network routing information I have not yet seen >mentioned is Nutshell's new book on the topic. Nutshell's book is very good. It describes all the networks that are interconnected or reachable through Internet. That's how I found out that you can use real names to MCI-Mail <real_name@mcimail.com> instead of just their mailbox numbers <XXX-XXXX@mcimail.com>. The descriptions also show the gateways used to get to those networks. It is called: !@%:: A Directory of Electronic Mail and Addressing & Networks By Doanld Frey and Rick Adams ISBN: 0-937175-93-0 302 pp. $26.95 The "!@%::" is exactly the name of the book! The plan to upgrade @6-8 months. You'll be able to get the updates at a discount (actually, a whole new book, not insertable updates). You can call 1-800-338-6887 (NUTS) except in Calif, which is 1-800-533-6887. They take fax orders at 707-829-0104 (credit card only on fax orders). Mail orders are at: O'Reily & Associates 632 Petaluma Ave. Sebastopol, CA. 95472 (Don't forget to allow for Tax in CA and MA, and UPS (2 lbs) ground shipping) I am not a representative of O'Reilly & Assoc, just a satisfied reader.
