 Domains in C86Net
 -----------------

   A "domain" is nothing more than a collection of systems residing under
a single name for purposes of making it easier to create and deliver Mail
to them.  Most systems on the network belong to some domain, and as time
passes, more systems will become part of a domain.  For instance, ^nodename
is in domain "^nodedomain".

   You can tell the domain of another system on the net, in most cases, by
looking at a net message from the system in question.  Using this system as
an example, a message from another system in a domain will have a header that
looks something like this:

    ... @ ^nodename _ ^nodedomain

   (Sysops can customize the display to their tastes, however, so you might
have to use your imagination.  For instance, they might have

    ... @ ^nodename [^nodedomain]

   But you get the idea.)

   So what's this worth to you, eh?  Well, suppose you want to send Mail to
a system on the net that you just saw a message from in a shared room.  You
went to mail, but just simply typing its name without the domain gained you
nothing but grief: perhaps the system hasn't made it onto this system's 
node (i.e., system) list, yet.  Well, you can get around this by typing .EN
at the Mail> prompt, and then typing the system's name followed by an '_'
followed by its domain name.  (You can use '.' instead of '_' if you really
insist).  Just make sure you get the spelling right.

   You may need LD credits to send Mail out via domain-addressing, though.
