Richard Piner's comments on the gateway system into ARPAnet are
true in general, but I believe his specific example is wrong.
If I am not mistaken, SPACE at MIT-MC (which is what the ARPA
people call it, *NOT* fa.space !) IS gatewayed into net.space
Matter of fact, it looks to me like fa.space has been stopped
(fa.space was just the digest that the ARPA people see as
SPACE at MIT-MC)  Also, apparently, net.columbia is being
gatewayed into SPACE at MC.  What this means is that any time
you post an article to net.columbia or net.space , everyone
on USENET (who gets it) sees it as a regular article; the
people on ARPAnet see it as a submission to their digest.
When they submit to their digest, they see it as part of
their digest and we see it as a regular article with an
ARPA mailing address.
