HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

If you just want to browse the guide manually for information, this is what
you need to know.  The guide is organized as a list of entries.  Each entry
tells you how to get from one network to another.  Here is what a typical
entry might look like:

  #FROM: mynet
  #TO: yournet
  #RECIPIENT: youraddress
  #CONTACT: contactaddress
  #INSTR: send to '#INSTR: send to 'youraddress@thegateway'

This means that to send mail FROM a network called 'mynet' TO a
RECIPIENT address 'youraddress' on a network called 'yournet', you
should follow the INSTRUCTIONS shown and address your mail to
''youraddress@thegateway'.
