Summary: bitnet gateway at talcott

there is a two way gateway to/from BITNET at talcott.

to send to BITNET:

from uucp:
	{harvard,ihnp4,...}!talcott!BITNETSITE!bitnetuser
			     		note caps. ( IBM you know )

from arpa:
	user%bitnetsite.bitnet@talcott.arpa
	user%bitnetsite.bitnet@talcott.harvard.edu

getting back is harder since bitnet addresses are limited to 8 characters

1/ edit a file that will be your letter
2/ put a line with this format as the first line of the file:
	To: user@site.domain
			"uucp" is an example domain
3/ transfer to the psudo account "MAILER" at HARVUNXT
	with CLASS=M, FTYPE=MAIL

NOTES:
   DO NOT USE A MAILER to send the letter, mailers add their own
   	to line and that will cause the letter to be trashed
   do not use "NOTE" it produces a single line with many non translatable
	control characters
