brand "DANGEROUS HACKER!" and I had no chance to vindicate myself. I poured out my
troubles to an acquaintance of mine, who is a sysop in the computer-center in Freiburg. He
asked other sysops and managers thru the whole BELWUE-network until someone gave him
a telephone number after a few days -- and that was the right one!
I phoned to this Hager and told him what I had done with his DECnet-account and also
what NOT. I wanted to know which crime I had committed. He promptly canceled all of his
reproaches, but he did not excuse his defames incriminations. I entreated him to inform
my system manager in Tuebingen that I have done nothing illegal and to stop him from
erasing my account. This happens already to a fellow student of mine (in this case, Hager
was also guilty). He promised me that he would officially cancel his reproaches.
After over a week this doesn't happen (I'm allowed to use my account further on). In
return for it, I received a new mail from Hager on another account of mine:

Subj: System-breaking-in
On June 1st 1989 you have committed a system-breaking-in on at least one of our VAX's.
We were able to register this occurrence. We would be forced to take further measure if
you did not dear up the occurrence completely until June 6th.
Of course the expenses involved would be imposed on you. Hence enlightenment must be in
your own interest.
We are attainable via DECnet-mail with the address 1084::HAGER or via following
address:

This was the reaction of my attempt: "$ PHONE 1084::SYSTEM". I have not answered to
this mail. I AM SICK OF IT!

ACSNET
Australian Computer Science Network (ACSNET), also known as Oz, has its gateway
through the CSNET node munnari.oz.au and if you cannot directly mail to the oz.au domain,
try
either
username%[email protected]
or
munnari!
AT&T MAIL
AT&T Mail is a mailing service of AT&T, probably what you might call it's MCI-Mail
equivalent. It is available on the UUCP network as node name attmail but I've had
problems having mail get through. Apparently, it does cost money to mail to this service
and the surrounding nodes are not willing to pick up the tab for the ingoing mail, or at
least, this has seemingly been the case thus far. I believe, though, that perhaps routing to
att!attmail!user would work.
AT&T recently announced six new X.400 interconnections between AT&T Mail and
electronic mail services in the US, Korea, Sweden, Australia, and Finland. In the US, AT&T
Mail is now interconnected with Telenet Communications Corporation's service, Telemail,
allowing users of both services to exchange messages easily. With the addition of these
interconnections, the AT&T Mail Gateway 400 Service allows AT&T Mail subscribers to
exchange messages with users of the following electronic messaging systems:
CompanyE-Mail NameCountry
TeleDeltaTeDe 400SwedenOTCMPS400AustraliaTelecom-
CanadaEnvoy100CanadaDACOMDACOM MHSKoreaP&T-TeleMailNet 400FinlandHelsinki
Telephone
Co.ELISAFinlandDialcomDialcomUSATelenetTelemailUSAKDDMessaviaJapanTranspacATL
AS400France
The interconnections are based on the X.400 standard, a set of guidelines for the format,
delivery and receipt of electronic messages recommended by an international standards
committee the CCITT. International X.400 messages incur a surcharge. They are:
To Canada:
Per note: $.05
Per message unit: $.10
To other international locations:
Per note: $.20
Per message unit: $«0
There is no surcharge for X.400 messages within the US The following are contacts to
speak with about mailing through these mentioned networks. Other questions can be
directed through AT&T Mail's toll-free number, 1-800-624-5672.

CMR
Previously known as Intermail, the Commercial Mail Relay (CMR) Service is a mail relay
service between the Internet and three commercial electronic mail systems: US
Sprint/Telenet, MCI-Mail, and DIALCOM systems (i.e. Compmail, NSFMAIL, and USDA-
MAIL).
An important note: The only requirement for using this mail gateway is that the work
conducted must be DARPA sponsored research and other approved government business.
Basically, this means that unless you've got some government-related business, you're not
supposed to be using this gateway. Regardless, it would be very difficult for them to
screen everything that goes through their gateway. Before I understood the requirements
of this gateway, I was sending to a user of MCI-Mail and was not contacted about any
problems with that communication. Unfortunately, I mistyped the MCI-Mail address on one
of the letters and that letter ended up getting read by system administrators who then
informed me that I was not to be using that system, as well as the fact that they would
like to bill me for using it. That was an interesting thought on their part anyway, but do
note that using this service does incur charges.
The CMR mailbox address in each system corresponds to the label:
Telemail: [Intermail/USCISI]TELEMAIL/USA
MCI-Mail: Intermail or 107-8239
CompMail: Intermail or CMP0817
NSF-Mail: Intermail or NSF153
USDA-Mail: Intermail or AGS9999
Addressing examples for each e-mail system are as follows:
MCIMAIL:
123-4567 seven digit address
Everett T. Bowens person's name (must be unique!)
COMPMAIL:
CMP0123 three letters followed by three or four digits
S.Cooper initial, then "." and then last name
134:CMP0123 domain, then ":" and then combination system and
account number
NSFMAIL:
NSF0123 three letters followed by three or four digits
A.Phillips initial, then "." and then last name
157:NSF0123 domain, then ":" and then combination system and
account number
USDAMAIL:
AGS0123 three letters followed by three or four digits
P.Shifter initial, then "." and then last name
157:AGS0123 domain, then ":" and then combination system and
account number
TELEMAIL:
BARNOC user (directly on Telemail)
BARNOC/LODH user/organization (directly on Telemail)
[BARNOC/LODH]TELEMAIL/USA
[user/organization]system branch/country
The following are other Telenet system branches/countries that can be mailed to:

Note: OMNET's ScienceNet is on the Telenet system MAIL/USA and to mail to it, the
format would be [A.MAILBOX/OMNET]MAIL/USA. The following are available
subdivisions of OMNET:
AIR Atmospheric Sciences
EARTH Solid Earth Sciences

OCEAN Ocean Sciences
POLAR Interdisciplinary Polar Studies

NOTE:
You can also mail to [email protected] or
[email protected] instead of going through the CMR gateway to mail to
NASAMAIL or GSFCMAIL.
For more information and instructions on how to use CMR, send a message to the user
support group at [email protected] (you'll get basically what I've listed
plus maybe a bit more). Please read Chapter 3 of The Future Transcendent Saga (Limbo to
Infinity) for specifics on mailing to these destination mailing systems.
COMPUSERVE
CompuServe is well known for its games and conferences. It does, though, have mailing
capability. Now, they have developed their own Internet domain, called
COMPUSERVE.COM. It is relatively new and mail can be routed through either
TUT.CIS.OHIO-STATE.EDU or NORTHWESTERN.ARPA.
Example: user%[email protected] or replace
TUT.CIS.OHIO-STATE.EDU with NORTHWESTERN.ARPA).
The CompuServe link appears to be a polled UUCP connection at the gateway machine. It is
actually managed via a set of shell scripts and a comm utility called xcomm, which operates
via command scripts built on the fly by the shell scripts during analysis of what jobs exist
to go into and out of CompuServe.
CompuServe subscriber accounts of the form 7xxxx, yyyy can be addressed as
[email protected]. CompuServe employees can be addressed by their usernames
in the csi.compuserve.com subdomain. CIS subscribers write mail to
">inet:[email protected]" to mail to users on the Wide-Area Networks, where ">gateway:"
is CompuServe's internal gateway access syntax. The gateway generates fully-RFC-
compliant headers.
To fully extrapolate -- from the CompuServe side, you would use their EasyPlex mail
system to send mail to someone in BITNET or the Internet. For example, to send me mail
at my Bitnet ID, you would address it to:
INET:C488869%[email protected]
Or to my Internet ID:
INET:[email protected]
Now, if you have a BITNET to Internet userid, this is a silly thing to do, since your
connect time to CompuServe costs you money. However, you can use this information to let
people on CompuServe contact YOU. CompuServe Customer Service says that there is no
charge to either receive or send a message to the Internet or BITNET.
DASNET
DASnet is a smaller network that connects to the Wide-Area Networks but charges for
their service. DASnet subscribers get charged for both mail to users on other networks
AND mail for them from users of other networks. The following is a brief description of
DASnet, some of which was taken from their promotional text letter.
DASnet allows you to exchange electronic mail with people on more than 20 systems and
