[net.news] Is there a list of DEC ENET sites available?

The title says it all.  Also, will

user%enetsite.DEC@decwrl.ARPA

work as a way to send mail to an arbitrary someone at DEC (from the Internet,
naturally)?

Re: Is there a list of DEC ENET sites available?_______________________________

	I don't believe DEC would want such a list made public.  It would prob-
ably be a boon to a computer pirate who wants to poke around the E-Net from Au-
stralia to Sweden.
	I don't know how much use such a list would be to anyone anyways, (-:
computer pirates excepted :-), since it would have over 2600 nodes listed.  If
what you're interested in is tracking someone down, the usual method (call up
DEC) might help.  Or you could contact your favorite DEC net-lander and ask -
we have a nifty facility that lets us find other DECies.

	Now, as far as sending mail to us, here's how.  I'm known as

			    VAXUUM::DYER

in these parts.  If you're sending via Arpanet, the following will work:

		    DYER%VAXUUM.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA

Or, more generally,

		   user%enetnode.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA

which is what was guessed in the original note.  To send to me from the USE-
NET, use the following:

		...decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-vaxuum!dyer

Or, more generally,

	       ...decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-enetnode!user

You can reach decwrl from many major machines.  The ones I know of are allegra,
decvax, ihnp4, and ucbvax.  There are more.

	There are some employees that aren't on the E-Net.  It used to be the
engineers' net (the "E" used to stand for "engineering"), but it's been merged
with a few things here and there and now the "E" stands for "easy" - it's the
EasyNet.  So there are more than engineers on it now, but not everybody.  Yet.
