	Since I posted my request for UUCP/BITNET gateways some time
ago, I have accumulated some information, which is listed below:

	Apparently, two gateway sites exist for this purpose.  The
UUCP site at Penn State University (psuvax1) and another site 
(wjh12) operate gateways.  The impression I get is that one can
mail thru psuvax1 in the following manner:

	. . . !psuvax1!bituser%bitsite.BITNET

	The wjh12 site is just in the process of installing their
BITNET mailer.  They have two possible formats for mailing;
you may want to try first 

	.. . !wjh12!BITSITE!bituser

	Please notice that the BITNET sitename is REQUIRED to be in 
upper case.

	In a few weeks, you should be able to mail like the following:

	. . . !wjh12!bituser@BITSITE.BITNET

	Since the "@" often causes trouble with mailers which your
message may have to pass through, you can simply mail a letter to
. . . !wjh12!mailer, and include a "To: bituser@BITSITE.BITNET" in
the letter.

	Until their mailer is functioning entirely (when you can
use the second and third formats), there will not be a return path
generated in the message sent to the bitnet user (i.e., there will
be no "Return-Path: " line.
