->that I would like to send mail to but I can't seem to get there from here.

    I don't know BITNET but uucp you can try uunet.  If they want to
send you mail the address would be:

...uunet!belvoir-mail1.arpa!dschultz 

The ... means a site that can connect to uunet.

You can send mail to them as USER%SITE.uucp at uunet.uu.net

This will work for about 250 registered sites.  If PENN State is not
registered they can send it via a site like seismo.  Uunet works as a
bridge for the sites connected to it; it doesn't work for all of them.
I might get killed for saying this but contact Rick Adams
<rick at seismo.CSS.GOV> for more info.  Tell me if you want a complete
list.

    Also check to see if you can find a gateway that will transfer
mail both ways.  Some places (e.g. Rutgers.edu, brl.arpa ) have both
uucp and milnet access.

->know how.  Reply to me AND/OR this list.......but please reply!!!!
->:-)
    You need to contact people on those lists.  I assume you mean
things like the USENET groups like os.comp.vms or rec.music.beatles.
For that weasel yourself an account on a University machine.

   I help that helps.  Let me know if you need any more info.
