The simple answer I though was: yes. But I have recently been installing a large mail system which after finding the next node to deliver a message to lowerfy's (there word not mine) the node name. Now, working on the belief that the authors know what they are up to I was wondering if there is some obscure net convention that Usenet/Eunet sites use only lower case? Offhand I cannot think of any sites with such a name and sites on the ARPA and JNT networks seem to convert their names to lower case before using them on the Usenet/Eunet! Thanks in advance.
