  More than likely. Since nodes which are directly connected to both BITNET
and the Internet generally prefer to emit the Internet address, that's prob-
ably how your PMDF is configured.
 
  I belive that if the LISTSERV in question is running recent LISTSERV code
(most are) it would have processed the request _if_ the BITNET node entry
for OSHKOSHW had a valid :internet tag. LISTSERV uses such entries to equiv-
alence BITNET and Internet address. Of course, this only works if all user-
names on OSHKOSHW.BITNET match 1-for-1 with those on the Internet-style
domain name. If you're running PMDF, this should be the case.
