	As long as we have the listing of BITNET nodes, people ought
to know that:

	-)  so far (my experience here) the best gateway from
	    internet<-->BITNET is wiscvm.ARPA.  Mail from
	    non-BITNET hosts to BITNET hosts can be sent
	    as 

		bitnetuser%bitnode.BITNET@wiscvm.ARPA

	    e.g.

	        HCMENSCH%SUVM.BITNET@wiscvm.ARPA

	-)  the VNET node  
	    is severely restricted and generally not available to
	    non-BITNET hosts.  So, if you're hoping to get in touch
	    with Know-nothing-bozo, your long-lost friend from IBM
	    you can pretty much forget it.
