376.0. "Friends in Toronto CIBC, ESSO, IBM?" by PRCFS1::STANLEYWONG () Tue Nov 27 1990 02:10

    
    Could anyone tell me how to send mail to people who have an computer
    account and working for Toronto CIBC, ESSO and IBM? These organization
    should have their E-mail system but how can we reach them from Easynet.
    I don't know exactly their mail stop but please give me some possible
    path.
    
    I've already reached my friend at University of Western Ontario
    thro' DECPA::"user@csd.uwo.ca".
    
    Could someone tell me what is "csd" and "ca" mean?
    
    Thanks

	Is there a "list" of Canadian universities/companies that a DEC employee can reach thru mail? And how can one do it? Thanks, Alan
376.4	Don't blame me if I am wrong !	HKTST1::FRANKY_LI		`Tue Nov 27 1990 07:48`	14
	Hi, Yes, if it is on the BITNET, but you have to know the mail stop. BITNET connected to all universities around the world. The address format is something like decpa::"BITNET address" or nm%decwl::"BITNET address". Don't ask me more, I just know it by try and error.
376.5	But carry on...	COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Tue Nov 27 1990 12:04`	1
	There is an entire conference for discussing this: UPSAR::GATEWAYS
376.6	csd.uwo.ca	KAOM25::RUSHTON	Unscathed by inspired lunacy	`Tue Nov 27 1990 16:34`	21
	<<Could someone tell me what is "csd" and "ca" mean? cs.uwo.ca is like a postal address but in this case it is probably the department at UWO followed by the country code, 'ca' is Canada. So, the entire phrase may mean: Computer Science Department (csd), University of Western Ontario (uwo), Canada (ca). There is a gateways publication available over the network that will give you some valuable information on accessing other networks. This publication is available as an on-line text file or in Postscript format: DECWRL::"GATEWAY.DOC" on-line DECWRL::"GATEWAY.PS" Postscript I agree with John Covert that it is also a wise move to access the GATEWAYS VAXnotes conference. Pat
376.7	Thanks a lot. I am in Gateway now.	PRCFS1::STANLEYWONG		`Tue Nov 27 1990 22:57`	2

376.8	Feeling lonely ...	HKTST1::FRANKY_LI		`Wed Nov 28 1990 05:50`	8
	How come I can't get to GATEWAYS, does the node change ? OR is the access limited to member ? Stanely, I can't reach you by VAXmail, try to reach me Franky_li::HKTST1
376.9	Whirly Twirlies in Hong Kong	COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Wed Nov 28 1990 13:03`	7
	You can't get there because HKTST1 doesn't have UPSAR in the node database. Get your system manager to load a complete node database. >Franky_li::HKTST1 That goes the other way around...
376.10	Little guy in HKTST1	HKTST1::FRANKY_LI		`Wed Nov 28 1990 23:20`	7
	I am scare to brother my system manager, is that true if you have the enet node number, you still can reach that node without knowing the logical name, so it doesn,t matter whether the database has it ? And if possible, could you mail that enet number to me by VAXmail. Thanks. :->
