SKELTON%UK.AC.LSE.VAX1@AC.UK (07/22/87)
A few days ago there was a question about sending mail to JANET ( the UK
academic network ). I thought someone else would have replied but since I have
seen nothing, here goes.
There are three gateways into janet; from ARPA, BITNET/EARN and UUCP. I will
give examples for each based on my mail address ( J.SKELTON@UK.AC.LSE.VAX1 )
but others should follow the same pattern.
The generic form is
J.SKELTON@VAX1.LSE.AC.UK
which is recognised by some sites on both BITNET and ARPA, and may be routed
through either gateway. Also,
J.SKELTON%UK.AC.LSE.VAX1@AC.UK
may work from some BITNET sites.
The BITNET gateway is at node UKACRL. Mail should be sent to userid MAILER
with a To: field in one of the above two forms.
The ARPA gateway is at UCL-CS.ARPA although I expect there is a more
up-to-date version of the name ( maybe CS.UCL.AC.UK ) and mail should be sent
as
J.SKELTON%UK.AC.LSE.VAX1@UCL-CS.ARPA
The UUCP gateway is node UKC and hence the mail address is
...MCVAX!UKC!UK.AC.LSE.VAX1!J.SKELTON
Variations of the above probably work from other nets; there may be other
unpublicised gateways but these are the important ones.
