    Since you're in MA, I think it's US2RMC, at least that's what I 
    use from NH.

    From the recently published "Getting Started on the Internet" Guide,
    section 2:
    
    	US1RMC::"[email protected]"
    
    US1RMC (and US2RMC and several others) is a mail concentrator that
    allows us to send mail out of the internal network.

    When I do this from DCL I get an error. However, when I do THIS:
    
        	US1RMC::"""[email protected]"""
    
    It seems to go through. I'll check with Mr. Username tonight to see
    if he got his mail on AOL.

    sent the way mentioned in .3 it worked.

Of course (he says, smugly).  It's normal DCL stuff.
You want to pass quotes to MAIL.  However, quotes
have meaning to DCL.  The rules are that you have to double
the real quotes and enclose the whole string in quotes.
By the time MAIL sees it, DCL has mangled it back to what
you really need.

|  | re -.2
I also had problems sending from DCL, for example,
	$ mail filename.txt VBORMC::"[email protected]"
failed, but when I called up mail, it worked fine, eg
	$ mail
	> send filename.txt
	> to: VBORMC::"[email protected]"
	> subject:
	> exit
Wasn't aware of the possibility of doubling the quotes, however.  I'll
give that a try, next opportunity.

    I defined a logical for a friend I send mail to across the net.  It
    looks like:
    
    $  define/nolog buddy ""scapas::us2rmc::"""[email protected]"""
    
    Should solve it.

                           ^^
Those quotes do nothing and should be deleted since they
make it look even more mysterious than it otherwise is.
My preferred quoting would be
     $ define/nolog buddy "foo::bar::""[email protected]"""
but that's just because it makes DCL look a little more
like it has some reasonable lexical structure. The quotes 
are then
			start-of-string
				embedded-quote	
					embedded-quote
						end-of-string

    honcho.

| 3610.16 | Official Gateway nodes | TOKNOW::METCALFE | Eschew Obfuscatory Monikers | Mon Jan 09 1995 11:51 | 20 | 
|  | From a data sheet I have:
DECWRL::    Palo Alto, CA    30000 mpd (messages per day)  all users
DECPA::     Palo Alto, CA     5000 mpd  areas 10, 30
CRL::       Cambridge, MA     7500 mpd  for area 37
DECUAC::    Landover, MD      4000 mpd  ULTRIX resource centers, sales
VBROMC::    Valbonne, France 15000 mpd  areas 40, 41, 43, 44, 46-51
 
US1RMC::    Littleton, MA    15000 mpd  areas 4, 9, 1, 29, 55, 56
US2RMC::    Nashua, NH       15000 mpd  areas 2, 19
US4RMC::    Maynard, MA         ?  (just saw in a reply a few back)
The sheet I have is nearing a year old which says that "VBORMC, US1RMC, 
and US2RMC exchange mail with DECWRL which remains the actual border 
gateway machine between Digital and the Internet."  I do not know how up
to date this information is; whether each of these gateways are now
their own gateways.  But now you have a closer approximation of which
nodes are for your better use.

|  | I wonder what the noise-to-nugget factor is?
Both in notes and networking in and outside of Digital, we engage in 
human interaction.  A lot of it is "noise"; something that doesn't
benefit anyone except the person creating the noise.  Some of it is
"nugget"; something that is useful to others or has reapplication.
The network has a lot of noise, but we pick up plenty of nuggets that
have helped us to work more efficiently and more effectively.  Buried
nuggets generally do not change their value to anyone.
Sorry if this is noise.
