515.0. "Getting E-Mail to Isranet?" by CURIE::GOLD (Jack E. Gold, MRO3) Fri Aug 12 1988 14:23

    I have recently recieved some mail (hard copy) from a friend in
    Israel, who tells me he has access to a mailbox (electronic) which
    I have never heard of. It is on something called ISRANET. I am familiar
    with BITNET, and how to get messages to it thru the gateway. Do
    any of you Gurus out there know anything about ISRANET, and how
    I  might get a message to it from the E-NET?
    
    Either mail me a reply at CURIE::GOLD, or post it here for others.
    
    Thanks in advance for any info.
    
    Jack

	Jack, Have you tried asking in ALIEN::GATEWAYS. They may have better information about which (if any) US based net is attached or equivalent. It is quite possible that it is the local name used for BITNET. Gvriel
515.2	ISRANET?	CADSYS::REISS	Fern Alyza Reiss	`Mon Aug 15 1988 11:20`	9
	Are you sure the name is "ISRANET?" "INTEC" is a newly-founded organization in Israel that is attempting to link the various computer networks for research exchange purposes. Israel also has BITNET, which is sometimes called EARN there, and is used primarily by the academic community. In addition, home-grown networks include KOORNET and GOLDNET/ELNET, which are government and industry-used. Please do post the info here if you get it! Thanks, /Fern
515.3	Starnge mailbox	CURIE::GOLD	Jack E. Gold, MRO3	`Mon Aug 15 1988 18:22`	8
	What makes me think it is not BITNET is that the mail address is quite different than I have seen. It is something like: Mail Box number 42514000000000/USER XYZAB123 This almost looks like a TELEX number, but I don't think so. Jack
515.4	X.25?	VINO::WEINER	Sam	`Mon Aug 15 1988 22:45`	3
	That looks like a PSI number, similar to those used by Telenet and Tymnet for international connections.
515.5		TAVENG::GOLDMAN		`Tue Aug 16 1988 01:54`	3
	Yes, the ISRANET name is correct and I'm pretty sure that it's X.25. It's run by Bezek, the local Israel PTT. I'll ask around, but I have a feeling that the chances of a gateway are zip.

	ISRANET provides a service for $$$. Therefore, you can get to it from the EASYNET or BITNET etc. with the same ease that you can now access TELENET in the US via the EASYNET. In other words - not easily. If you should have access to TELENET you should be able to send mail through to the address you mentioned. It has the correct ISRANET code in it, and I suspect that your friend is located in Haifa (from the "4").
