Is there any magic involved in bridging LAT?

Johnny,
Could you expand on the "mail bridge"? That sounds useful.
If I remember right, it was/is Robert Armstrong who had that up and running.
It basically meant that you could send mail to anyone on the Internet from anyone on HECnet, and vice versa. You just need to know the correct syntax for the mail address.
I'll leave it to Robert to expand on this, if he still have the gateway up. I haven't tried it in over a year now.

Thanks.

For me, I use it a lot to transfer files between my own systems and MIM

I occasionally use it for mail to some people as well (once in a while,
we even have a mail bridge to the internet, which is fun).

That's a service I miss once in a while. :-)
Let's hope you get things together soon, Zane.

This was not a personal attack on you in any way - I remember the message you sent about MONK:: and PDXVAX:: being down after we had successfully been able for MISER:: to connect OK and I totally understand - being "under" employed at the moment myself and the subject of the economy and greedy CEO/banker types (which is a subject best left off the list, ha).
Just wanted to make sure I threw that out there. :)
Don't worry, I didn't take it as an attack. In fact the thought never
crossed my mind. I'm just seriously frustrated at the moment, and wanted to
make sure everyone knows that MONK and PDXVAX will be back online ASAP.

If you'd like to contact me off list, I was speaking with some associates of mine that informed me of some really heinous things going on in the banking system that the general public in the USA really aren't aware of ... I couldn't believe it ...

apartment complex where we'd been living (they tried to move us into an
ex-Meth lab and rented our existing apartment out from under us), we never
expected it to take over six months. We actually had one offer on a house
approved after waiting nearly two months, only to have the house horribly
fail the inspection (it turned out it was quite literally ready to fall
down). On another one, the bank sold the house to another bank for $60,000

have been trying, and realizing we're coming up on the six month mark is a
rather depressing thought. :-(
