For brain-dead mailers to foreign addresses, always try this form:
cybername % address @cunyvm.cuny.edu
That will route the message via CUNY, whose machine seems to be much the
best informed about overseas addresses (and, if I recall, it is through
CUNY that virtually all messages to Europe go anyway).

I have received the request for Danish contacts. There is no
translation center at the University of Copenhagen and I found nobody to
contact at English Department. However, you may try to get in contact
with Bjarne Christoffersen, at Humanist EDB Department, University of
Copenhagen, and he might provide you with some information, or adresses
for future contact. Personally, I am in Hebrew Bible studies;
discourse analysis of the Hebrew Bible and linguistics, and thus of no
help.
Adress for further possible contacts: BCH at ANNE.IHI.KU.DK

One of the usenet groups (comp.mail.misc) posts a guide to network
gateways several times a year. Those interested in sending mail across
gateways may wish to monitor this group to keep up with most up-to-date
connections.

I believe that Telenet available commercially gives you access to
internet. RLIN subscribers can choose to link up via Telenet or
through internet. The difference is $10/hour and I assume that is
the cost of Telenet.

I have been accessing [is that ok?] Internet, Bitnet, and the rest for
several months now via CompuServe. As my college is too cheap/poor to
establish a network connection, it's that or nothing for me. It is
complicated and expensive, and email only, but it does work quite well.
I have to be very conscious of how long I'm online (my software helps
there)--I turn "autosave" on, scroll through the entire list of letters
as fast as I can (deleting only when I'm _sure_ I'm not interested) and
then read at my leisure once offline.
If you're getting started on a modem on your own phone, I suggest you do
some practice runs on a "free" local number (perhaps your college
computer has a phone connection, or there are many local bulletin
boards) before you get very involved with a commercial service. That
way you can explore the hard- and software without running up a gigantic
bill.
If you're trying to reach someone on CompuServe, I'll be happy to look
up an ID#/mailbox for you.
