[net.dcom] BITNET gateways ???

How does one send mail from USENET to BITNET? I used to
go via an unofficial gate, but would like to know the
correct procedure. Thanks!  -Ben Burch, AIC

There appears to be a gateway between psuvax1 (usenet) and
PSUVM (bitnet).  I was told to use the form
userid@destination.bitnet to mail to bitnet, but that doesn't
seem to work.  I haven't tried to explicitly route mail to
psuvax1.  (On the bitnet side, my mailer wouldn't swallow
an address like userid@site.uucp).
  I'm interested  in finding out how to do this.  If anyone
wants to experiment, my bitnet address is TSCHES@TUCC).
