talcott.{arpa,uucp} is a BITNET gateway. send to:

  { ihnp4,harvard,wjh12,panda}!talcott!BITNETSITE!user

 note the CAPS on the BITNET site name ( kludge but conforms to IBM )

from an arpanet site:

	user%bitnetsite.bitnet@talcott.{ARPA,HARVARD.EDU}

for the BITNETers to get back.
1/ make up a file with the first line thus:

To: user@site.domain

		for example fred@ucbvax.uucp

2/ send this file NOT WITH A MAILER ( a mailer will add its own "to" line )
   to MAILER AT HARVUNXT
   with CLASS=M
   and FTYPE=MAIL
