Our BBS in Field Services in Piscataway is 1:107/310 in FidoNet. We are also 'ieeefs.ieee.org'. Using the UFGATE technology to gate messages between Internet and FidoNet, we serve as a gateway to reach members who would rather receive their mail on a FidoNet BBS. This will all be accomplished thru a rather large alias list on a machine known as 'ieee.org', so that messages to 'user@ieee.org' will get re-addressed to the user's true mailbox or bounced as 'unknown user'. I am on the joint RAB/TAB E-Mail sub-committee which is heading this project and will announce all details as permitted to be made public by the committee. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Burt Juda - IEEE - RAB - Field Services - E-mail Support Internet: burt@ieeefs.ieee.org UUCP: ...!rutgers!njin!ieeefs!burt juda@pilot.njin.net BITNET: JUDA@NJIN COMPMAIL: B.JUDA FidoNet: 1:107/310 FAX: 1-201-981-0027 TELEX: 833233 Voice: 1-201-562-5510 (9-4,M-F) Modem (BBS): 1-201-981-9190 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
