*** Instructions for users who want to send Inter-Network mail 
*** using NETSEX. 

Sending mail From WWIVNET:

        There are two ways of sending mail from a user on WWIVNET 
to a user on Fidonet.  The first way is to use the full address:

        <USER NAME> OF <FIDO ADDRESS> @<GATEWAY NODE NUMBER>

Example:
        Matt Logan OF 1:105/9999 @600

The second way was provided so that names and addressed that 
exceed the maximum length allowed by the WWIV software can be 
used.  The format for this type of addressing is:

        FIDONET @<GATEWAY NODE NUMBER>
Then,  in the first line of the message type:
        To: <USER NAME> OF <FIDO ADDRESS>

Example:
        FIDONET @600
(first line of text)
        To: Matt Logan OF 1:105/9999

Note that both of the examples given will attempt to send mail to 
the same user at the same Fidonet address.  The capitalization of 
the "OF" and the "To:" must be copied exactly.  Remember, sending 
mail over Fidonet almost always costs the system the message is 
being sent from since fidonet mail is sent directly to the 
destination system.  Please do not use Inter-Network mail unless 
you know what you are doing.  Experimentation can be costly!

     If the gateway system had a USENET mail connection you may 
also send mail over USENET.  The method of addressing may vary 
depending on what software if being run to convert messages from 
Fidonet to USENET.  The method given assumes the Gateway system 
is running UFGATE.

The format for sending mail over usenet is:
     UUCP OF <FIDONET ADDRESS> @ <GATEWAY ADDRESS>

Then, on the first line you would type:

     To: <SYSTEM>!<SYSTEM>!...!<USER ID>
Or:
     To: <USER ID>@<FULL DOMAIN NAME>

Example:
     UUCP OF 1:105/9999 @600
(First line)
     To: matt@jove.cs.pdx.edu


Sending Mail from Fidonet to WWIVNET

     There are three ways of sending mail from Fidonet to 
WWIVNET.  I will explain them here in order of most preferred to 
least preferred.

Method 1:
On a fidonet system you could send the mail to:
     n<WWIV NODE> u<USER NUMBER> OF <GATEWAY FIDONET ADDRESS>
Example:
     n5317 u1 OF 1:105/9999
This method is most preferred because there is no chance for 
error due to a mis-spelling of the name.


Method 2:
     n<WWIV NODE> <USER NAME> OF <GATEWAY FIDONET ADDRESS>
Example:
     n5317 Heavy 7 OF 1:105/9999

This method could cause problems if the spelling of the name is 
different than the actual name.

Method 3:
     <USER NAME> OF <GATEWAY FIDONET ADDRESS>
Example:
     Heavy 7 OF 1:105/9999

Messages addressed in this way will only reach the intended 
recipient if the recipent has an account on the WWIV node that is 
set up as the "LOCAL" node.  Since you can't be sure what this 
"LOCAL" node will be without prior knowlege don't use this 
method.  There is one exception to this rule:  if the Gateway 
operator has set up a mail alias then messages addressed in this 
way will be routed to whatever is appropriate for the alias.  To 
get an alias ask a gateway operator for an alias.

Sending From USENET to WWIVNET:

The name scheme works the same way as that listed above with one 
exeption: all spaces in the name are to be replaced with a "."
Also, the Fidonet address will appear as such:
     <SYSTEM>!...!z<ZONE>.f<NET>.n<NODE>

Example:

     gatesys!z1.f105.n9999!n5317.u1

The above example will send the message through "gatesys" to 
fidonet 1:105/9999 and then onto user 1 of WWIVNET 5317.  This is 
assuming that "gatesys" is the USENET site name of the 
USENET<=>FIDONET gateway node,  and that 1:105/9999 is the address 
of the FIDONET<=>WWIVNET Gateway node.

Please refer your questions first to your nearest NetSEX gateway 
operator,  or if that is impossible,  to one of the following 
addresses:

USENET:        matt@jove.cs.pdx.edu
WWIVNET:       1@5317

I'll try to answer questions as quickly as possible but I cannot 
guarantee a prompt response if too many people send me mail.
