No, but you don't have to. MCI Mail has a very nice but totally unpublicised gateway of their own that I stumbled across. To send mail from MCI to the Internet, tell MCI Mail you're sending to a REMS, give the REMS name as "internet" and on the mailbox line, give the internet address. To go the other way, send to something like 0001234567@mcimail.com where the number is the MCI Mail account number padded to ten digits. Not all internet hosts know mcimail.com, but uunet does. Bang paths seem to work too. -- John R.
