Special thanks goes out to Henry Nussbacher who did the actual compiling of this list. For those of you on Bitnet, you may have seen this previously in the form of BITNET GATES.
For readers who are a little unsure of what this file shows, I will try to explain a little. As you already know from the Future Transcendent Saga, there are many different networks all around the world. Most of these networks are connected in some way, usually all being called the Internet.
Now, as you should know, Taran King and Knight Lighting both have addresses on Bitnet that are on the node UMCVMB.BITNET. However, this node also exists on the Internet in a different form: UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU.
EDU is the Internet domain for academic nodes. Not every node on Bitnet has a translation on the Internet. Then again, only a small fraction of the nodes on Internet have Bitnet equivalents.
So what this file really shows is what network you are sending mail to when you have an address that contains a nodename or routing designation that looks a little strange. For people on Bitnet it also shows what Bitnet address serves as the gateway between Bitnet and whichever network they are sending to on the Internet.
The following is a table of gateways between Bitnet and other networks. It is in the format of;
Domain: The upper level recognized name by the Columbia University VM mail system.
Name: The descriptive name of this network.
Gateway: Where the mail is sent to in Bitnet. Unless otherwise specified, the gateway expects to receive a BSMTP (Batch Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) envelope. Users in general do not need to worry about the contents of this field. This is not a mailbox for general questions but rather the server machine (daemon) that acts as the transporter of mail from one network to another. Software postmasters are expected to configure their system so that their system sends to the nearest gateway and not to the default gateway.
Translation: Upon occasion, certain addresses will be translated internally to point to an indirect gateway. In such a case, the complete address is specified.

Bitnet - Internet Regional Gateways %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Below is a list of those sites that will handle regional traffic between Bitnet and the Internet:
SMTP@CUNYVM SMT@CORNELLC MAILER@MITVMA MAILER@ICNUCEVM - available only for Italian nodes
You should ALWAYS use the generic address of SMTP@INTERBIT and never any of the addresses mentioned above. The addresses stated above are for informational and debugging purposes ONLY. Failure to abide by this rule will cause the owners of the gateway to close their service to all Bitnet and EARN users.
Indirect Domains %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Domains that are unreachable directly, but that the Internet exit of Mailer knows how to translate:
Domain: DEC Name: Digital Equipment Internal Network (Easynet) Gateway: SMTP@INTERBIT Sample: user@domain.DEC Translated to: user%node.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM
Domain: OZ (soon to become OZ.AU) Name: Australian University Network Gateway: SMTP@INTERBIT Sample: user@node.OZ Translated to: user%node.OZ@UUNET.UU.NET
Domains that are unreachable directly but that are accessible by specifying the address explicitly:
Name: Xerox Internal Use Only Network (Grapevine) Sample: user.Registry@Xerox.Com
Name: IBM Internal Use Only Network (VNET) Sample: user@Vnet
Comments: 1) Mail must be sent directly to user and not via a 3rd party mailer (i.e. VM Mailer server) 2) User within Vnet must first receive approval within IBM to establish a circuit and then initiate a virtual circuit. A user within Bitnet may not establish communications with a VNET user, without the above requirement. 3) This gateway is only open to selected nodes within IBM which have ties with academia (i.e. ACIS).
