Help! I'm would like to know if there is a way to send mail
to my father who works for IBM overseas and has access to
IBM's internal "profs" network.
Is this network entirely self contained or is there a
special address one can use to mail to it.
Any help is appreciated! Please respond directly to me as
i don't usually read this newsgroup. Thanx Gaby

There is an e-mail gateway between the Internet and IBM's internal VNET
network.  IBM employees have to pre-register with the gateway, which is
an automatic, overnight process, but then can send mail freely.
