Subject: JANET addresses
Terry Harpold has usefully noted that May Katzen's address, given in a
recent note about how to access HUMBUL, is out of sequence for users not
within JANET (the Joint Academic NETwork of the U.K.). I'm afraid I have
become so accustomed to reversing JANET addresses for use on
Bitnet/NetNorth that I forgot to add the appropriate warning to May's
notice. My apologies.
So, in general, given a JANET address such as
"realmensch@UK.AC.location", users on Bitnet/NetNorth/EARN should write
"realmensch@location.AC.UK", where "realmensch" is the userid and
"location" may consist of one or more parts separated by periods. You
will see several examples of (reversed) JANET addresses on Humanist's
membership list.
