A number of my friends have been sending mail to me at ttardis only to
have it get lost somewhere due to some systems that truncate ttardis to
ttardi.

asside from renaming the site to ttardi (or some other 6 character name),
does anybody have any idea as to what can be done to reduce or eliminate the
confussion?

(I have talked to all of the sites that I connect to and requested that
they add either an alias or an extra entry in their L.sys files - helps
a little, but.....)

Thanks in advance.
