I'm making a survey of known internet gateways--sites which are on
two or more networks, and which let you connect terminals or send
mail between the nets.
For example, you can use Telenet to connect terminals to Dartmouth's
Kiewit network, and thence to any of its host computers. You can
send mail via Usenet to Arpanet if you know a proper gateway. I
would like to form the closure of these networks--ie, to find
what's connected to what, by whatever obscure intermediate links.
European network gateways are particularly appreciated, though even
gates to local networks are welcome. Gates between major nets,
such as Arpa, Telenet, Tymnet, the US Mail Ecom net, MCI, and so
forth, are also especially welcome.
I'll distribute my results to anyone who contributes.

Brig, I think you'll find the information has been organized very well by the Network Information Center. The complete host table (with gateway entries) may be obtained via anonymous FTP from [SRI-NIC]<netinfo>hosts.txt. --Jim

"UUCPnet" is a network of machines communicating via the UUCP protocol. It provides [mostly-]single-hop file transfers and remote execution, and multiple-hop, source-routed electronic mail. "Usenet" is a distributed bulletin board system. It achieves this distribution using UUCP file transfer, UUCP remote execution, UUCP mail, other nets' mail, other nets' file transfer, or whatever else comes to hand. It *does not* provide electronic mail service; articles posted to it are a good source of electronic mail addresses, though.

I would suspect that you don't want to know about all the gateways with in the TCP/IP internet. You can get these buy looking at a host table, and there are a bunch of them, and you don't need to know what they are, it's all done automagically. -Ron
