I use ucbvax.UUCP as gateway to BITNET, but each host should choose the
nearest one that works reliably and is legal for them.  If you are on
UUCP and you send data to BITNET via ARPANET, you're illegally using the
ARPANET as an intermediate network.

There is also a gateway at psuvax1.UUCP, but it has never worked for me.
(I may be using it wrong.)  I've never tried wiscvm.ARPA, I suppose that
wiscvm.ARPA is intended as a gateway between CSNET and BITNET, not for
UUCP use.
