	This type of request has appeared at least five times in the
last three months. Most of the responses give incomplete answers, such as
"there's a gateway at Wisconsin . Don't forget caps in the destination address."
That's not too helpful; it provides no instructions on the gateway's *use*.

	Would some guru-type please post detailed information on:

		* what gateways exists
		
		* how they are used (give *explicit* instructions on
		  address syntax)

		* any useful comments .

	Perhaps this question should be placed in the commonly-asked questions
section of the net.announce.newuser postings.
