[bit.listserv.pmdf-l] Bitnet and Internet

DMPM@DUKEMC (James Dryfoos- PostMaster) (02/09/90)

Until recently we have only been on BITnet.  We
are now on INTERnet as well.  I am trying to setup
PMDF to use both based on the address.  I told
domain_names.com that I am on the INTERnet.  When
I run it however, it seems like only a handfull of routes
are routed via INTERnet and most still go out over the
BITnet and use a gateway.  I even see some use the BITnet<->
INTERnet gateway.  Why is this?  Why do whole domains such
as .edu become $U%$H$D@INTERBIT.BITNET my tcpip.rules
file is barely 30 lines and seem to be only for specific nets
such as .cmu.edu  Am I doing something wrong or is this correct?
