My problem is:
One vax with Jnet and MX (this one is bitnet node) and several vaxes
in DecNet (some connected to Ethernet cable others by leased telepnone
lines). I assume that each user of any computer has his own
mail address  on his own local computer.
What is the proper way of using mail in such configuration?
1. What parts of MX should be installed on the bitnet node and what
parts on th others?
2. How to configure MX for both types of nodes ( path,rewrite
rules, and mx_logicals.dat file )
3. To use or not to use SMTP-over-DecNet ?
4. Jnet may be also installed on each computer in DecNet.
   Should I do it or not?
Unfortunatelly, I can't find the answers for these questions
in MX documentation or maybe I didn't understand it.
Pls, anybody help me if you can.
