Hi,

    I've read the FAQ, but something isn't quite working.  My brother,
an assistant sysop on a Fidonode in Wash., DC (1:109/305.0) can send
mail to me and it will get to me within 2 hours, typically (is it a
UUCP gate ?  Don't know).  But if I send mail to him with the
"[e-mail]" address, it doesn't get
through (not yet anyway, first message sent weeks ago).

    Is there another way to address the mail ?  Suppose I were
to include the internet address of a nearby UUCP gate (somehow) ?  I'm
a little confused.

    BTW Is there a list of UUCP gates somewhere, with corresponding
Fidonet/Internet addresses so that mail can be directed speedily ?
I'd hate to have a piece of mail go out to the default AZ gate just
because I didn't know where else to send it.

Thanks,
Rob
