The Stony Brook Division of Biological Sciences Computing Facility is now
on bitnet. Unfortunately, we've received *no* information at all on bitnet.
So, we have two questions. First, is there some central source for bitnet
info, like SRI-NIC for the Internet? How can it be accessed?
Second, is there a bitnet-arpanet gateway anywhere? If so, where is it and
how is it used?
Please send *any* information you have to one or more of the following
addresses:
UUCP: ...decvax!philabs!sbcs!bnl44!davison
...decvax!philabs!sbcs!sbccsx!pmb (an alias)
bitnet: mehcoib@sbbiovm.bitnet \
rohlf@sbbiovm.bitnet / at the moment only CUNY and Yalevm have
sbbiovm in their host tables as of 7/5
Arpanet: davison@bnl44.arpa
davison@sumex-aim.arpa
Thank you very much!

Actually, I'm sure the folks at Berkeley would be very pleased if you did not mail through UCBJADE. For now, WISCVM is the gateway, but if things go right, BITNIC will be the gateway soon, at which point we will be very pleased if you don't mail through WISCVM. derek, temporary (hope springs eternal) babysitter of arpanet-bitnet gateway. -- Derek Zahn @ wisconsin ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,sfwin,ucbvax,uwm-evax}!uwvax!derek derek@wisc-rsch.arpa
