Sampsa, nice of you to offer this. Just pointing out that this is pretty
much VMS-only, as help files, libraries and functions are somewhat
different in different OSes...

Since I have some spare time on my hands, I've
decided to create a .HLP file that describes service / nodes on HECnet.
If you want an entry, basically just email me some text to sampsa at
mac.com and I'll
compile a HECNET help library out of the entries.
So if you're offering some cool service, guest accounts, allow registration of user
accounts, are running on unusual hardware (I know there's a couple of TOPS-20 systems
out there, I really want to learn that OS) then let me know.
I'll release a new .HLP file (over both FAL and HTTP) along with instructions on how
to import it into your system's HELP library whenever there's new material or
material is changed / removed..

Mail can be sent to HECnet users directly using the <NODE>::<USER>
syntax I'm sure you are all familiar with.
To send mail to the internet, route it via the CHIMPYMAIL gateway,
using this syntax:
CHIMPY::smtp%"joe.user at example.com"
Please note that some providers (notably Apple and Hotmail/Windows Live)
do not accept this as a valid address. Gmail does however.
Your inbound address is:
KUHAVX::<username>@chimpymail.com
For information on how to forward your mail, see the Forwarding
subsection.

admins who can help you.
