GG>As you can see, I am presently using the DOS-based OLX as my

GG>OLX to send routed Netmail to the Internet thru a gateway?
That would depend entirely on how your sysop has it set up.
He/She should have it set up where you either do it in a special 'echo',
or that you put something like uucp@1:234/5678 as the 'to' and then as
the first line you put "to: " followed by the internet address.  And
then of course, you put it in your net-mail echo.
As to receiving internet email... I don't know.  I think some gateways
have to be polled by the sysop.  There are at least two gateways though,
and since I'm not a sysop, I don't know the details.  Ask your sysop.
As for it being routed... I don't think you'd have a choice.  That would
almost certainly depend on how your sysop does regular net-mail.  Either
real, direct, net-mail, or it'd be the 'routed' variety.
