-
- Sure. In fact, CONFIGURE.COM automatically puts in a rewrite rule to do
- this using CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU as the Internet/BITNET gateway. A lot of sites
- then change this to use a some local Internet/BITNET gateway instead.
-
- If you do not have such a rewrite rule already, then just add the following
- rewrite rule to your PMDF.CNF file:
-
- .BITNET $U@$H$D@cunyvm.cuny.edu

- No problem.
-
- > BTW is there a FAQ for this group?
-
- Unfortunately not. Some frequent _problems_ can be found in the Troubleshooting
- & Maintenance chapter of the System Manager's Guide. I'll give some thought
- again to putting together a FAQ. However, everyone should understand that we,
- Innosoft, are more than happy to answer questions (even if some of them do
- exasperate us at times ;-) If you feel that your question is a FAQ and would
- rather not trouble the whole world (info-pmdf) with it, then you can post to
- service@innosoft.com which is read by just Innosoft personnel, call us at
- +1 714 624 7907, drop us a FAX at +1 714 621 5319, or catch us at Walter's
- (the coffee shop on 4th and Yale).
