Do you mean DECs internal network, or the local DECnet at your campus?
You can mail a DEC employee JBLOGGS on DEC node ABCDE by sending mail to
JBLOGGS@ABCDE.ENET.DEC.COM, or to their All-in-One account by sending
mail to JOE.BLOGGS@XXX.MHS.DEC.COM, where XXX is their 3-letter Location
code.  Not everybody in DEC is reachable on All-in-One, though.
(There is a document called gateways.doc on DECWRL that explains much of
this).

If your asking about reaching people on your local VAX network, the key word
is local! Ask your computer centre.

Note that the whois database says that this record was updated as of
26-JUN-92, hence it is a new entry, and none of the 3 machines I tried
from could finger to that site. Give it a few weeks and your finger will
probably be able to identify the site somewhat better. Of course NIC.DDN.MIL
gives the administrator (Masato Sakata, sakata@akitau.akita-u.ac.jp, phone

The second argument is an [optional] port number. Think of this as
the name of a communications channel to a service program. There
are commonly used port numbers for services suach mail.

If what you want to do is to log into the remote system, don't
use a port number.

The current use of finger is :

to get information about Mr login at this machine. What about a new
finger allowing the wildcards :

finger *@machine.domain to get info on each user of this machine;

finger login@* to get info on Mr Login on each machine on the Net;

and, of course, 

finger *@* to get info on everyone everywhere !!

    How do you gain access to this server? How do you apply for an account and
    password? Could someone please E-mail me on how to do this.

      I am looking for the words to Madonna's "Vogue" and Right Said Fred's

      also send them to me in E-mail.

This is an anonymous ftp site.  Ftp there and log in as anonymous.  If
you are unsure as to how to ftp read the man pages on ftp.  It
essentially goes like this: ftp site-address 
It's that easy.

d) Other. The Republicans are not distributing their platform, even on
paper. I think they are ashamed of their positions. Their platform
seems to be "write-only".

If they do get around to distributing it and it is put on line, I
expect it will be announced in alt.politics.election.

Please do not flood rferl.org with mail, they are in the process of

From $0.00 to as high as multi-thousands.

If you want the cheapest way, find a UUCP neighbor site who is
willing to forward your mails.(your mails have to conform
UNIX standard.)

I believe this is what you want. It costs you nothing but
a favor from your neighbors.

Minitel is available in the USA by Minitel Services in NewYork with Many
local dialup numbers.  You may receive the software to connect by finding
it at an archie site "minitel.zip" or directly from the company.  (I have
seen it available for FTP..)  There is a charge (from 11 cents-a few dollars
each minute for services in france), but there is no limit to what it can do..
(the software emulates a Minitel terminal)..

You may also maintain a Minitel terminal for use if you live in the San
Francisco Bay area...

Registration is simple (online w/ credit card) an you can use it on the
first call.. (not the French Services, those require your verbal/written
permission...)

In that case what if a person intends to make commercial use of the

Since you're at cadence.com, I'll assume that you can't telnet and therefore
a public-access nntp server is of no use to you. However, if a sys admin (say

I am also looking for such a gateway. I have heard of some commercial

But you have to subscribe to their mailbox services first.

You need a newsreader that talks NNTP to the server (eg. rn or tin). 
On unix machines, you usually setenv NNTPSERVER to the host name of 
the server, and the rest is taken care of by the newsreader.
