- Most of what you listed is addressable in the form shown below:
-
- Compuserve: xxxxx,xxxx@compuserve.com
- BITNET: user@host.BITNET
- Fidonet: has its own similar format (eg. user@a.b.c.fido.org)
-
- UUNET: is a site, not a network
- Usenet: is really not a separate network - it describes the set of
- hosts that carry network news

- Someplace there's a document about how to send from anyplace to anyplace,
- but I don't know where it is or how to get it.

- Most places which are accessible somehow via Internet have some means of
- recognizing addresses of the format user@site.
