To Jon Postel, Mark Crispin and other interested parties:

At the EARN (European Academic Research Network) Technical Meeting in
Geneve, Switzerland last Thursday and Friday, we discussed moving
EARN (which connects to BITNET via two international lines paid for by
IBM) to X.400.  In fact, we *MUST* do so.  The PTTs (Post Office, Telephone,
and Telegraph) which own and operate *ALL* the lines in Western Europe
have demanded that EARN migrate to an X.400 network in conformation with
the ISO and CCITT recommendations.  EARN has until the end of 1987 to
accomplish this.

Work has started to be progressed in this area.  It was decided to use
a product that is coming out of Heidelberg to accomplish this migration.

EARN is almost in every country in Western Europe.  By the end of the
month, the final connections to the remaining countries will be complete.
On Monday, Greece will connect from Crete to Italy, and Finland will connect
from FINHUT (the Finnish Helsinki Institute of Technology) to Stockholm,
Sweden and Belgium will connect up from Brussels to Paris, France.

Anyone interested in communicating with the technical coordinators in
EARN should write to me and I will put you in touch with them.  There is
one technical coordinator in each country as well as a European Master
Coordinator (EMC).
