Internet. Each entry has 4 (or 5) fields:

    -	To Network:  The network we want to send to.
    - 	Address: The address format for addresses in that network.
    -   Send To: What address to use when sending mail.
    -   Help: The person to contact in case of difficulty
    -   Source:  Credit to the person who sent me the entry. Some names might
		 be omitted due to oversight; drop me a line if you feel
		 "left out"   :-)

      you are running. Usually, "user%domain@gateway" works, where
      "gateway" is the regional Bitnet-Internet gateway (like CUNYVM or
      MITVMA). If it doesn't, ask your local POSTMASTER.

PART - II

NETWORKS KNOWN *NOT* TO HAVE ACCESS FROM INTERNET

Compiled by Raymond Chen <raymond@math.berkeley.edu> . 
(Couple of updates made by me __ ajay)

Network             Comments (and userids of people who asked about it
                              and didn't post summaries)
-------             ---------------------------------------------------
American Online     Masato Ogawa (ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp) confirms
                    that there is no gateway.

British Telecom     rbatt@adam.adelaide.edu.au (R Batt) reports that
Gold                BT is a member of DialCom (qv).

DialCom             The gateway was shut down in March 1990 for financial
                    reasons.  Individual customers may have established
                    private relays through the Commercial Mail Relay (CMR).
                    Information available on the CMR is available from
                        Intermail-Request@Intermail.ISI.EDU

Dialog              mcmahan@netcom.UUCP (Dave Mc Mahan) reports that
                    nobody responded to his query in October 1990.

Easylink            a Western Union service
                    bruceh@CV.HP.COM (Bruce Hauge) reports that as of March
                    1991 there is no gateway yet, but they're working on it.

Eurokom             christ@issun3.stc.nl (Brian Christiansen) reports that
                    nobody responded to his query in February 1991.
                    However, borrman@ztivax.siemens.com (Lothar Borrmann)
                    reports that users should be reachable from the Internet
                    under <name@eurokom.ie>, where "name" is usually of the
                    form  firstname_lastname_company.

Fidelity Investments ea47916@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Eric Adams) reports that
(Dallas)            nobody responded to his query in February 1991.

GEnie               No gateway yet, but Bill Louden, the General Manager of
                    GEnie, has stated publically that they are currently doing
                    research into the feasibility of a gateway.  Trust me,
                    if such a gateway is set up, you'll hear about it.

                    By the way, the machine genie.com is a red herring.

GoldNet             chaim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Chaim Dworkin) reports that
                    GoldNet is part of DialCom (qv).

                    IO00393@MAINE.BITNET (Pete) reports that nobody
                    responded to his querh in January 1991.

Nifty-Serve         a Japanese BBS
                    suzuki@sai.vtt.fi (Makoto Suzuki) contacted the
                    system operators and confirmed that there is no gateway.

PROFS (general)     PROFS is not a network.  It is an electronic office system
                    that has electronic mail as one of its components.  Many
                    companies purchase it from IBM and install it locally.

PROFS (IBM)         gt5116b@prism.gatech.EDU (Gaby Turek)
                    reports that you send to username@vmmachine.iinus1.ibm.com,
                    but the recipient must first have registered for internet
                    access.

                    pegah@pleiades.cps.msu.edu (Mahmoud Pegah) reports
                    that as of February 1991 there is no gateway, though
                    one is under development.

SABRE               American Airlines' in-house reservation network.
                    savel@hoss.unl.edu (Bharat P. Savel) reports that
                    it has no gateway to any other network, and they
                    intend to keep it that way.

Telemail            stevenst@infonode.ingr.com (Todd Stevens) 20 Feb 91

               Use  the gateway at sprint.com This  requires  knowledge of the
               recipient's  X.400 address on  Telenet  (now Sprintnet).   Your
               SMTP address will look like this:

               smtp%"/dd.un=username/admd=telemail/o=gte/c=us/@sprint.com"

               the username will be the recipient's username on the system and
               o will be the organization.
