Quick Question: I know a userid at LCLARK on BITNET. Is there any "Standard" way to find if they have an internet node name? Please E-Mail [I doubt lots of people need this information] Thanks, Tony -- tony foiani (afoiani@nmsu.edu) "And remember...don't lose your a.k.a.

You need a userid AND a node-name, e.g. CUNYVM or NMSUVM1 > Is there any "Standard" way to find if they have an internet node name? > You can play around with the name servers (nslookup, for us) but the simplest way to send mail is to address it to user@node.BITNET and assume that you have a reasonably good mailer and it gets to a gateway. Alternatively, if you know of a gateway (e.g. CUNYVM, but you didn't hear it from me) system that is on both networks, usually user%node.BITNET@gateway works. For example, user%node.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU -- David
