[comp.os.vms] Reaching UUCP from Internet through a Gateway

simpsong@ncoast.UUCP (Gregory R. Simpson @ The North Coast) (06/27/87)

Hello, I need some help getting mail from a Decnet site
with access to Internet to UUCP. I've tried lots of 
different combinations, but I haven't been successful.

(Note this note is being posted from a unix machine, where
 I don't have these problems. The VMS machine I am refering
 to doesn't carry news.)

Here's the scenario:

I am on a company wide decnet, We can send out internet mail
through a gate way like this:

decnet_node::mrgate!login@internet.domain

For example, to send mail to my old (non-existant) purdue
account I would send mail to something like:

joevax::mrgate!simpsong@ma.ecn.purdue.edu

The problem I have is, I have a friend who is connected
to internet via UUCP, and I want to send mail to him.

He works for hp, and his hp site can be easily reached from
hplabs.HP.COM. When I try to add his site to the path:

decnet_node::mrgate!uucp_site!another!login@hplabs.HP.COM

It doesn'nt work...  I think the first uucp_site is getting
lost somewhere, and hplabs hasn't heard of "another" (a
uucp site connected to the first "uucp_site")

Any help would be appreciated. I do read all the above mentioned
newsgroups, but this question may be to specific to be of interest...

(use the first set of addresses rather than the one's in my .signature)

My addresses are:

Prefered Internet: SIMPSONG%ATD1.decnet@ge-crd.arpa

Thanks!
