Perhaps we can reserve the term gateway to systems that are truly  
insecure like usenet.  The Telegram solution that Stas has built  
is limited to itself; the general public cannot access those  
messages unless specifically participating as "known" users.  
Unlike usenet, it is not possible to be a lurker as you can be in  
fidonet or usenet.

Carol's analogy of the Telegram "system" as an OLR solution is  
better.  No one thinks of OLR's as gateways. ;)
