- When you see an internet address longer than 3 letters,
- (with the exception of .ARPA), this address is almost
- always a "BITNET" address. If you, for example, want
- to access an address like
-
- listserv@marist
-
- You would translate this into
-
- listserv@marist.bitnet
-
- If your system is on Bitnet, it should translate the
- address directly into the local site. If your system
- is not on bitnet, you have to use a gateway, like this:
-
- listserv%marist.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu
-
- or
-
- listserv%marist.bitnet@pucc.princeton.edu
-
- There are about six gateways that handle internet to
- bitnet traffic for sites that don't handle it.
